From the North
Leaving Orlando, take the Florida Turnpike south to Fort Pierce on the East Coast and continue through Ft. Lauderdale. Get off at Exit 4 (Homestead/Key West). This is the West Dade Turnpike Extension (821) that ends at Florida City on US1, which leads to Key Largo. US1 and the Overseas Highway are the same road and it continues directly through the Keys to Key West.

From the West
Leaving Tampa, there are two routes: Take I-75 south to Naples, and then east across Alligator Alley to the Miami Exit and south to the Turnpike Extension; or US41 south to Naples, east to the Turnpike Extension and then south to US1.

From Miami International Airport
Take LeJeune Road south to 836 West, going west to the Florida Turnpike Extension (821), then south to US1 and the Keys.
