Coral Reef Drive, also known as South 152nd Street, is a 9.6-mile-long (15.4 km) main east–west road south of downtown Miami in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. It serves to connect the communities of Country Walk and Richmond Heights with Palmetto Bay. State Road 992 (SR 992) is designated along the 2.462-mile-long (3.962 km) section of Coral Reef Drive between the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike and US 1.
Coral Reef Drive begins along the southern edge of a housing estate at Southwest 162nd Avenue in Country Walk, though an unmarked dirt road continues west to SR 997 through agricultural fields. After crossing Southwest 157th Avenue, Coral Reef Drive forms the boundary between Country Walk and Richmond West. Here, it also becomes a palm-lined road, travelling along the back of houses on either side, increasing in width to four lanes after crossing Naranja Road (Southwest 147th Avenue). After crossing a canal, Coral Reef Drive continues to pass in between neighborhoods until it reaches a couple of small shopping malls and Lindgren Road (Southwest 137th Avenue), a northern portion of which is designated as SR 825. East of here, Coral Reef Drive passes along the southern boundary of Three Lakes; while to its south lies the former Richmond Naval Air Station site, now taken up by the South Campus of the University of Miami, the Gold Coast Railroad Museum and Zoo Miami. After passing a shopping mall at Three Lakes' eastern end, Coral Reef Drive meets the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike, gaining the SR 992 designation.
