State Road 925 (SR 925) is a pair of north-south roads in Miami, Florida connecting westbound SR 968 with the Interstate 95 (I-95) exits on Northwest 8th Street. The northbound road is known locally as Northwest 3rd Avenue and runs 0.565 miles (0.909 km). The southbound road is known as Northwest 3rd Court and runs 0.506 miles (0.814 km). The roads run parallel Interstate 95 on opposite sides and serve as frontage roads for exits 2B and 3B off of the highway.

Route description
edit
Northbound SR 925 begins at SR 968 west and heads one-way north. It passes by the I-95 exit 2B off-ramp to Northwest 2nd Street, as well as the Miami-Dade County Juvenile Services Department, before entering a school zone assigned for the Downtown Miami Charter School. After intersecting Northwest 8th Street, an END SR 925 shield signals the northern terminus at the foot of the I-95 northbound on-ramp off Northwest 3rd Avenue.
Southbound SR 925 begins at the intersection of Northwest 8th Street and the I-95 exit 3B off-ramp, also accessible via SR 836 east. The road travels south down Northwest 3rd Court, passing Camillus House, apartment complexes, and Lummus Park. At the Northwest 2nd Street intersection exists an exit ramp that serves as both an I-95 southbound entrance, as well as a flyover ramp to connect motorists with US 41/SR 90. After traveling two more blocks south, the road terminates at SR 968 west.
History
