State Road 970 (SR 970), also known as the Downtown Distributor,[2] is a short 0.563-mile (0.906 km) elevated freeway connecting Interstate 95 and Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami.

Eastbound drivers also can exit to SE 1st Avenue near the James L. Knight Center and the Miami Tower.

On the Interstate, there is no recognition of the State Road status of the Downtown Distributor, as exit signs in both directions indicate "Biscayne Boulevard, US 1".

On the Distributor, both at the eastern end and roughly 0.2-mile (0.32 km) from the Interstate, State Road 970 shields are present, but without directional indicators.

The freeway was to be the start of the Bayshore Loop around Downtown Miami in 1956, running along what is now U.S. Highway 1 and Interstate 395.
