Florida State Road 112 ( SRÃ, 112 ) is a 9.9 mile (15.9 km) east-west highway that connects Miami International Airport in Miami to Miami Beach in the US state of Florida. Between the airport and Interstate 95, it's locally known as Airport Expressway (or Airport Tollway), and is an electronic highway between State Road 9 and I-95. Between I-95 and Alton Road (SR 907A) in Miami Beach, the SR 112 is only signed as Interstate 195 while traversing Biscayne Bay by the way of Julia Tuttle Causeway. Between I-195 and its eastern terminal on Collins Avenue (SR A1A), the SR 112 112 signs are present but rarely, and the roads are maintained locally as Arthur Godfrey Road .

Route description
Airport Expressway
SR 112 begins at the main entrance of Miami International Airport, at the intersection of NW 21st Street and State Road 953 (Le Jeune Road), and headed north. From here to the junction with I-95, this street is known as the Airport Expressway and is managed by the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX). For the first mile or so, the road runs parallel to the SR 953 and the airport runway, with a track showing left-left driving directions. About 0.5 miles (0.80 km) north of the southern terminal, the SR 112 has a rail crossing in the classroom, near the eastern end of one of the airport runways. The east-west swinging road passes through the airport, with its lane crossing toward normal driving just east of its partial intersection with SR 948, which also provides limited access to Route 27 AS.
After crossing NW 37th Avenue, Airport Expressway passed its first two gantries, charging $ 0.35 for a vehicle with a SunPass transponder and $ 0.70 for the remaining Toll-by-Plate users. It also runs roughly parallel to the Metrorail Orange Line, crossing just below it right west of NW 32nd Avenue. SR 112 then swapped with SR 9 (NW 27th Avenue), and then NW 22nd Avenue half a mile later. From here, the highway passes through the second toll gate (at the site of the toll plaza), at the same rate as the first gantry. Near the gantry, SR 112 passes south of the Metrorail Earlington Heights station, where two Metrorail system paths join, with both the Airport Expressway and Metro continuing to run parallel to the east for 1 mile (1.61 km) or so. Just before SRÃ, 112's partial interchange with SR 933 (NW 12th Avenue), the Metrorail trail crosses the Airport Expressway as they bend southward. Around 0.5 miles (0.80 km) later, the Airport Expressway ends at a junction of the pile with I-95, with SR 112 and sidewalks continuing east as Interstate 195.
I-195
Section 4,424 miles (7,120 km) from SR 112 connecting Interstate 95 in the west with Miami Beach in the east is also designated as I-195. Part of this route was signed as I-195, with SR 112 being an unsigned highway. I-195 and SR 112 crossed Biscayne Bay by the way of Julia Tuttle Causeway. At SR 907A (Alton Road), I-195 ended while SR 112 continued east as Arthur Godfrey Road.
In the
class sectionEast of Alton Road, SR 112 continues as Arthur Godfrey Road nicknamed the palm tree (also known as West 41st Street), a four-lane avenue along 2.82 miles (1.32 km). It passed the southern end of the Nautilus, past shops and low-rise office buildings, across the Biscayne Waterway before passing along the southern edge of North Coast Elementary School. Continuing past more stores and hotels, SR 112 passes the Intracoastal Waterway before it meets the southern half of SR A1A. In the past here, the road became one lane in every direction and filled the northern half of the SRA A1A one block later, ending in the midst of the Mid-Beach rally. 41st Street continues at a short distance to the cul-de-sac.

Tolls
Toll on the Airport Expressway is all electronic, meaning no cash transactions. Payments are made either via SunPass transponder or via toll-by-plate bill, which lastly costs twice that of the previous one. Two gantry tolls are located along the highway, each channeling $ 0.35 for SunPass users and $ 0.70 for Toll-by-Plate. Starting November 15, 2014, it costs $ 0.70 to travel to all parts of the freeway via SunPass (and $ 1.40 via Pulse-by-Plate). All riders are charged at least one toll to use the road; there is no "free section" available before the conversion of an electronic toll in 2014.
History
Construction of SR 112 began in 1959, and the highway opened for traffic on December 23, 1961 (six months after the Palmetto Express Road, SR 826). The initial name is 36th Street Tollway , but the use of the name eventually fades in favor of the more popular "Airport Expressway". Initially the highway has a west terminal at a solid junction with LeJeune Road (SR 953), Northwest 36th Street (SR Ã, 48), and Okeechobee Road (US $ 27/SR 25) east of the airport. It was not until 1990 when SR 112 was extended to the south and west to the airport property, stopping at the main entrance.
The numbering SR 112 is an anomaly in the current grid-based system. The path is numbered while in the planning stage; it retained the number as FDOT made extensive changes in numbering State Roads in southeast Florida in the 1970s and early 1980s.
On November 15, 2014, the Airport Expressway became all electronic toll roads, no longer collecting cash, and the only way to pay was through SunPass transponders or billing by toll-by-plate programs, at double the cost. It also removes all the "free movement" sections of the hollow part of SR 112, and returns the western expressway, which was removed in March 1984. The change was first announced in 2010, and along with the nearby Dolphin Expressway SR 112 the last of the MDX expressway to be converted into an open road tolling.
Interstate 195 Spur
On December 23, 1961, three marked roads along the SR 112 route were opened: 36th Street Toll Road, Interstate 195, and Spur Interstate 195 . I-195 Spur is the surface part of the east-west state route along Arthur Godfrey Road in Miami Beach, connecting the east terminal I-195 to SR A1A. I-195 Spurred the signs of disappearing from the street as soon as the appointment was deactivated by the newly created US Department of Transportation in the late 1960s, and is now signed solely (but barely) as SR 112.
Future
While repeated attempts to secure funding to extend SR 112 along SR 948 to Palmetto Express Road and Homestead Extended from Turnpike Florida have failed, the Florida Transportation Department is building a liaison between the Dolphin Expressway and the Airport Expressway as part of a large-scale project. (Miami Intermodal Center) bundled with highways, railways and airports. It remains to be seen whether the connector will have its own FDOT designation or if SR 112 will be extended on it to connect the two express lanes east-west of the Miami region.
Exit list
All exits that are not concurrent with I-195 are not numbered. The entire route is in Miami-Dade County.
