U.S. Highway 98 (US-98), internally designated by the Alabama Department of Transportation as State Route 42 (SR-42), is a major northwest-southeast state highway across the southern part of the U.S. state of Alabama. Notable sections of the highway include the Battleship Parkway across Mobile Bay, which is co-signed with US-90; and the Bankhead Tunnel, connecting the Battleship Parkway to downtown Mobile.
