US Highway 90 is a US highway which travels through the Pensacola area and constitutes two major east-west thoroughfares in US 90 proper and US 90 ALT (Nine Mile Road). US 90 is one of three US highways in the Pensacola area.
[edit] US 90 proper
US 90 heads southerly at Beulah, just east of Silcox Lane, while US 90 ALT (Nine Mile Road) continues east, bypassing Pensacola to the north. US 90 proper travels southeast into West Pensacola as Mobile Highway; at W Street in Brownsville, US 90 becomes Cervantes Street. Cervantes carries US 90 through downtown Pensacola and East Hill, over Bayou Texar into East Pensacola Heights. At Chipley Avenue, US 90 becomes Scenic Highway and takes a northerly turn, closely following Pensacola Bay until it rejoins US 90 ALT in northeast Pensacola, at which point US 90 continues east to Pace.
[edit] US 90 ALT
US 90 ALT provides an alternate route to motorists, bypassing Pensacola to the north while US 90 proper dips southerly and travels through the city center. US 90 ALT is carried by Nine Mile Road for its entirety.
