  DRC Mile Marker Location

Mile markers designate locations along US1 (also known as the Overseas Highway). Mile marker 118 is the northernmost start of the Keys and mile marker 0 is located in Key West at the far south end of the island chain. DRC is located at mile marker 59.

 
   From Miami, the Mainland, and North/Northeast

Follow the Florida Turnpike south until it ends and merges with US 1 in Florida City. Continue on US 1 south through the Florida Keys. Look for us on the right (Gulf) side at mile marker 59.

 
  From Key West and South/Southwest

Go north on US 1 over the Seven Mile Bridge and through Marathon. Look for us on the left (Gulf) side at mile marker 59.

 
  Travel Times

US 1 is the main road in the Florida Keys. It’s predominately a two lane road and at times, a slow moving one. In season, December to April, and on holiday weekends, traffic can be extremely heavy. Allow at least 1 3/4 hours to travel from Key West and at least 1 1/4 hours from Key Largo. You will need a minimum of 2.5 hours travel time from Miami International Airport.
