The underlying state route that cosigns with U.S. 90 as it dips into Pensacola between the termini of Alternate U.S. 90/Nine Mile Road.

|
| Western Terminus - Alternate U.S. 90/near Alabama State Line
|
| Approaching the western terminus of U.S. 90 Alternate
(Nine Mile Road) on the Mobile Highway eastbound. This junction is set at an otherwise sleepy rural location.

| U.S. 90 expands to four lanes with a grassy median in
anticipation of Alternate U.S. 90. This photograph depicts a newly installed guide sign complete with
backplated shields. Nine Mile Road bypasses Pensacola to the north as the Mobile Highway sinks southeasterly
toward the city. Photo taken 12/20/03
|
| A second guide sign displays the control points for
both U.S. 90 and Alternate U.S. 90. Milton is featured for the Nine Mile Road as is the connection with
Interstate 10 Exit 5. U.S. 90A itself is not a useful through route for motorists destined for the Santa Rosa
County seat. Development and suburban sprawl results in heavy congestion on the east-west highway.

|
| Nine Mile Road continues the eastward push of Mobile Highway
as U.S. 90 continues southeasterly. Both highways continue in rural fashion for the next several miles.

| U.S. 90 Alternate ends unceremoniously at U.S. 90 (Mobile
Highway) 4.3 miles west of Interstate 10. There is no end shield for U.S. 90A nor is there any indication of
the transition of Nine Mile Road into Mobile Highway. This junction represents the western terminus of
unsigned Florida 10A. Photo taken 12/20/03.
|
| Eastern Terminus - Alternate U.S. 90/north of Pensacola
|
| U.S. 90/Scenic Highway eastbound approaching the eastern
terminus of Alternate U.S. 90/Nine Mile Road. The signage is incorrect in that the Alternate tab is centered
of both shields. The actuality is that U.S. 90 overtakes Nine Mile Road and U.S. 90A northeastward to the
Santa Rosa County line. The Escambia River itself denotes the county boundary and is the location where
Scenic Highway ends. Photo taken 05/31/04.
