| U.S. 90 & 98 East - Battleship Parkway
|
|---|
| Detour Interstate 10 shields continue along U.S. 90-98 eastward
to Spanish Fort. Since hazardous materials are permitted along the Bayway from Exit 27 eastward, it is unclear
if this detour related signage pertains to that or just as an alternate routing in case of bridge construction
or related congestion. Photo taken 08/21/03.
|
| The first sign of the upcoming junction with U.S. 31 is posted
along U.S. 90 & 98 eastbound after the Exit 30 Interstate 10 interchange. The pair continues along the causeway
for another five miles before parting briefly in mainland Baldwin County. Photo taken 11/05/03.

| Detail of the U.S. 90/Alabama 181 and Baldwin County 27 shield assembly at Malbis. This area is slated for heavy growth, with the construction of a large shopping mall complex slated for 2003. Baldwin County 27 begins also at this intersection, and takes traffic southwards to U.S. 98 at Weeks Bay. It is a good alternative to the slow going U.S. 98 through Daphne-Fairhope for traffic headed south. Photo taken 08/24/03.
