Locally known as Northwest 36th Street and Doral Boulevard, the 3.998-mile-long (6.434 km) State Road 948 (SR 948) is a commercially important east–west highway in central Miami-Dade County, Florida.
Its western terminus is a cloverleaf interchange with the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) in Doral; its eastern terminus is an intersection with US 27 just east of LeJeune Road (SR 953) in the southern tip of Hialeah, just outside the city limits of Miami.
East of the Turnpike, Doral Boulevard is dominated by shopping centers as much is SR 948; to the west, Northwest 41st Street is primary an access road for limestone quarries and the wells that supply Miami-Dade County its drinking water.
As the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) has become increasingly congested with commuter traffic, SR 948—a much older road—has become (with LeJeune Road) a primary access route to the passenger terminals of the airport, and, as a result, is reaching its carrying capacity on a regular basis.
The current configuration of SR 948 received its number in the mid-1980s, after the designation was removed from a section of North 119th Street in North Miami (now part of SR 924) as a part of a collection of renumberings of Miami-Dade State Roads.
