State Road 298A (Florida)

State Road 298 Alternative (also known as West Jackson Street) is a residential state road (former) in Escambia County, Florida. It is an alternative to SR 298 in case there is a traffic accident on U.S. Route 90/U.S. Route 98 or any one of the roads intersecting SR 298. It is 6 miles (9 kilometers) long, passing the western suburbs, Myrtle Grove, West Pensacola, and Brownsville before ending at U.S. Route 29 in Downtown Pensacola. Oddly, it is less than a mile south of a major road. One of them is U.S. Route 90. The entire road is only 2 lanes wide. The eastern end is U.S. Route 29 in Pensacola, and the western end is Escambia Cunty Road 298 2 blocks south of SR 298.
