The Dolphin Expressway is an all-electronic tollway signed as State Road 836 (SR 836) in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
The road currently extends 15.3 miles (24.6 km) from just north of the intersection of Southwest 137th Avenue and U.S. Highway 41 (US 41) in Tamiami, eastward past the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike (HEFT) (SR 821) and Miami International Airport, before intersecting I-95, becoming I-395 and ending at SR A1A in Miami at the west end of the MacArthur Causeway. The Dolphin Expressway is maintained and operated by the Greater Miami Expressway Agency (GMX), while the I-395 section is maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
