Locally known as Northwest 36th Street and Doral Boulevard, the 3.5-mile-long 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. Some maps incorrectly indicate a continuation of SR 948 to the east of the intersection with US 27. State Road 948 serves as a primary access for the cities of Miami Springs and Virginia Gardens and a maintenance and business access for Miami International Airport.
To the west of the SR 948 western terminus extends Doral Boulevard, which changes from Northwest 36th Street to Northwest 41st Street as it travels along the southern boundary of Doral Country Club and Golf Course and crosses the city of Doral. The western terminus of Doral Boulevard/North 41st Street is a dead-end just to the west of West 147th Avenue, three miles (5 km) to the west of its interchange with Florida's Turnpike (SR 821). 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.
