County Road 854 (CR 854), locally known as Ives Dairy Road, Dan Marino Boulevard, and Honey Hill Drive, is the unsigned designation for an east–west commuter road spanning 8.7 miles (14.0 km) across northern Miami-Dade County encompasses sections of North 199th Street, North 202nd Street, North 203rd Street, and North 205th Terrace. Its western terminus is an intersection with Red Road/Northwest 57th Avenue (SR 823) near Miami Lakes and Carol City; the eastern terminus is an intersection with Biscayne Boulevard (US 1/SR 5 in Aventura, a half block east of an overpass over West Dixie Highway that once served as part of the Dixie Highway and US 1.
For most of the route, County Road 854 is within two miles south of Miami-Dade County’s boundary with Broward County and adjacent to Snake Creek Canal. A reversible lane setup is in place between SR 817 and US 441 to serve Sun Life Stadium traffic.
The 1.0-mile-long stretch along Sun Life Stadium notwithstanding, CR 854 snakes through suburban residential developments with the occasional shopping center along the way. The former State Road is often used as an alternative to the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike (SR 821) and the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) when traffic is heavy or blocked on the expressways.
