U.S. Route 90 Alternate (Pensacola, Florida)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


U.S. Highway 90 Alternate is an east-west bypass route of Pensacola, Florida. It is also known as Nine Mile Road, as it is located approximately nine miles north of downtown Pensacola.

Interstate 10 has largely supplanted the role of U.S. 90 Alternate as a bypass route. The road today serves largely as a commercial corridor for the northern suburbs of Pensacola. However, following the partial destruction of the Escambia Bay Bridge by Hurricane Ivan, U.S. 90 Alternate resumed its role as a cross-country bypass route for a short time.
