U.S. Highway 90 (US-90), internally designated by the Alabama Department of Transportation as State Route 16 (SR-16), is a major east-west state highway across the southern part of the U.S. state of Alabama.
U.S. Highway 90 and SR-16 cross the extreme southern part of the state, covering approximately 75 miles. The routes pass through the city of Mobile and its suburbs before entering Baldwin County. With the completion of Interstate 10, US-90 and SR-16 serve primarily as a local route connecting the towns along the route.
