State Road 969 (SR 969), locally known as Milam Dairy Road and West 72nd Avenue, is a 5.2-mile (8.4 km)-long north–south street west of Miami International Airport in western Miami-Dade County, Florida. The southern terminus is currently an intersection with SR 968 (West Flagler Street) in the city of Miami, and its northern terminus is an intersection with SR 934, just south of Medley.
State Road 969 begins at Flagler Street (SR 968) and heads north through residential areas, quickly intersecting the Dolphin Expressway. North of the Dolphin Expressway, SR 969 borders the Miami International Airport to its east, and airport-related business to the west as the road curves around the western end of the airport to accommodate an extended runway. North of the runway, SR 969 resumes in its cardinal north direction and passes by and through business parks and industrial parks for the remainder of the road. The road intersects State Road 948 near Virginia Gardens, with SR 969 continuing north. Just south of the southern terminus, SR 969 passes through a rail yard operated and maintained by Miami-Dade Transit. The road finally terminates at State Road 934, at the western end of the Hialeah Expressway.
