Hi All,

So, continuing with my small contributions to the Guidebook, last month I had to take a work trip to the US that took me to Key West, to be honest I had never driven down to Key West, all 4 times I'd been there was flying MIA-EYW.

So this time I decided to take one for the team and also for myself and drove down there, and what a beautiful drive.

Tolls passed
Toll 1= SR 836 Dolphin Expy at 57th Ave $0.66
Toll 2= SR 874 Don Shula Expy at SR826 $0.47
Toll 3= SR 874 Don Shula Expy at Killian $0.23
Toll 4= SR 874 Don Shula Expy at Turnpike $0.23
Toll 5= Florida Turnpike at Exit 10 Homestead $1.07

Total= $2.66 Tolls + $3.95 Alamo TollPass= $6.61

Note: Prices are dated August 2022.

As per my previous guidebook posts, this is meant as a guide to help Dibbers new to this route become familiar with the most important signs, places, junctions when heading down there, so without further to do, here goes nothing:

Upon exiting RCC follow the road to take the ramp to your left to Key West.


Follow the sign to 836 West.


Merge onto 836 West.


Keep left to exit toward 826 Palmetto Expwy.


Use the right 3 lanes to merge onto FL-826 S


Keep left to continue on FL-874 S.


Merge onto Turnpike South


17 miles after Merge onto US-1 S at Homestead


Within the next 50 miles or so you'll enter the Florida Keys and pass through lovely scenic roads such as below and pass Key Largo, Plantation Key



After some 80 miles going through the beautiful Overseas Hwy AKA US-1 S AKA A1A you'll arrive at some sort of cul de sac with a traffic light. Turn left or right to incorporate into Roosevelt Blvd and you're now in Key West.


Hope this is helpful, I took this screenshots while trying to get familiarized with the road and it turns out I needn't use the SatNav apps only used them to get to my hotel.

As usual, comments and edits are welcome!
