State Road 228 (SR 228) is a 32.5-mile-long (52.3 km) state highway in the northeastern part of the U.S. state of Florida. It exists in two distinct sections, separated by County Road 228, which is a former segment of SR 228.
The western segment of SR 228 exists in Macclenny, connecting US 90 and County Road 228 with Interstate 10 (I-10) at exit 336 and another instance of the county road.
Its main segment is in Jacksonville. This segment connects U.S. Route 301 (US 301) and County Road 228 in the far southwest corner of the city with US 90 in the Southside neighborhood of the city.
SR 228 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 90 (US 90, Macclenny Avenue) in downtown Macclenny. At this intersection, the roadway continues as County Road 228 (North 5th Street). It heads south-southeast through town, passing Macclenny City Hall and the Emily Taber Public Library. Around the intersection with Jonathan Street, the road curves to the southeast. It crosses over Turkey Creek before leaving town. Approximately 3,000 feet (910 m) after leaving Macclenny, it meets its eastern terminus, an interchange with Interstate 10 (I-10). At this interchange, the roadway continues to the southeast as another instance of County Road 228, this time known as Maxville–Macclenny Road.
