U.S. Highway 90 Highway Guide

Scenes Related to U.S. 90
Visible to the left in the above photograph, is this old alignment of U.S. 90. Original concrete still exists here, as old U.S. 90 dead ends at the Perdido River. Two homes still use this alignment for driveway access. Photo taken 08/27/99.
Blue U.S. 90 junction shield, posted on the short Millview Road northbound between Florida 173 (Blue Angel Parkway) and the Mobile Highway. This shield is the last to remain in all of Escambia County. Millview Road was once part of Florida 173 before a new alignment to Florida 297 (Pine Forest Road) saw construction. This shield dates from the former state highway designation along this rural road. Photo taken 12/21/03.
Blue U.S. 90 shield on 17th Avenue northbound at Cervantes Street. This was the final colored U.S. shield for U.S. 90 in the city of Pensacola and it lasted until at least April 2002. Instead of replacing the sign, 17th Avenue northbound now has no sign for U.S. 90 at all. Photo taken 08/27/99.
U.S. 90 & Florida 87 Blackwater River bridge in Milton. This photograph was taken from the south at a nearby riverside park. Photo taken 11/27/99.

From the same park, the parallel CSX Railroad truss bridge. Located to the south of U.S. 90/Florida 87. Photos taken 11/27/99 & 04/09/09.

Hurricane Ivan Road Closures

Hurricane Ivan made landfall between Fort Morgan and Gulf Shores, Alabama in southern Baldwin County on early Wednesday morning September 15, 2004. The category 4 storm weakened to 130 mph winds from 135 just before making landfall on the Gulf Coast. The storm was traveling northnortheast at the time of landfall thus putting the northeast quadrant of the hurricane and eye wall across both Baldwin and Escambia Counties. The landfalling storm caused extensive damage to not only property, but roads, the environment, and countless lives.

Posted here is the status of the U.S. 90 Escambia River causeway. (source: Pensacola News Journal).

  • U.S. 90 Escambia River causeway - Hurricane debris and damage had rendered the eastbound carriageway of U.S. 90 impassable. The westbound direction accommodated one lane of traffic for each direction. However roadwork quickly restored the eastbound lanes of traffic and U.S. 90 is now back to its original capacity.
