'''Interstate 110''' or '''(I-110''' ) is an a {{convert|6.34|mi|km|adj=on}} auxiliary route of the Interstate Highway spur connecting the downtown System in Pensacola area with , running north from [[U.S. Highway 98]] to [[Interstate 10]]. Interstate I-110 carries the hidden [[Wikipedia:Florida Department of Transportation|Florida Department of Transportation]] designation of '''Florida State Road 8A'''. It is also known as the '''[[Reubin O'Donovan Askew]] Parkway''', in honor of the former governor of Florida who is also a Pensacola native.
As ==Route description==Since its completion, Interstate 110 has consisted of 2007six interchanges. At the south end is Exit 1, Interstate a directional T interchange that connects the freeway with [[Garden Street|Garden]], [[Chase Street|Chase]] and [[Gregory Street]]s. Exit 2 links I-110 to [[U.S. Highway 90]]/[[U.S. Highway 98|98]], also known as [[Cervantes Street]]. There are only southbound exit and northbound entrance ramps at this interchange. This same ramp configuration can be found just to the north of at Exit 3: [[Maxwell Street|Maxwell]] and [[Jordan Street]]s. Past Exit 3 , where the elevated freeway returns to ground level, there are two diamond interchanges. The first is under extensive constructionExit 4:*To [[Fairfield Drive]] (State Road 295]]). The roadway northbound ramps at Exit 4 have been moved entirely to the southeast quadrant of the intersection and directly connect to [[Davis Highway]] ([[State Road 291]]) just south of Fairfield Drive. Just north of that point is being widened Exit 5: [[Brent Lane]] ([[State Road 296]]), [[Airport Boulevard]]. Directly adjacent to six the southbound lanesapproaching the Brent Lane exit is [[Pensacola Christian College]], a major destination for much of the traffic in that area. Originally, north of Exit 5 was an overpass for [[State Road 742]] along [[Burgess Road]]. However, between 2004 and 2006, S.R. 742 was rerouted along a new wider overpass at [[Creighton Road]] and the old Burgess Road overpass was demolished.*A new interchange with Interstate 110's northern terminus is at [[Interstate 10]] . There is being constructed*A new a combination [[Wikipedia:trumpet interchange|trumpet]]-[[Airport BoulevardWikipedia:Interchange (road)#Between two freeways|directional T]] exit interchange at this location that is being addedin close proximity to the I-10 interchange with Davis Highway to the east.
==History==
*The portion of I-110 north of Maxwell Street was completed in [[1969]] &ndash; as a four-lane, at-grade freeway. In [[1978]], the portion from Maxwell Street south to its current terminus at Garden and Chase Streets was opened to traffic. This portion is a four-lane, elevated freeway for its entire length. Construction of the elevated portion of Interstate 110 caused controversy in that it threatened several historic landmarks. The freeway eliminated over 30 blocks of dense existing development including the popular [[Dairy Bar]] ice cream shop and a centuries-old [[live oak]]. A portion of the freeway also directly abuts [[St. Michael's Cemetery]], which houses graves as old as the 1700s. Between 2004 and 2009, Interstate 110 constructed was fully rebuilt and expanded to six lanes from Interstate 10 south to Maxwell Street . Reconstruction of the freeway also added access to and from Airport Boulevard via a modification of the existing Brent Lane interchange.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.i10-i110.com/description.htm |title=FDOT Escambia County Transportation Improvement Projects-Project Descriptions|accessdate=July 7, 2007 |author=Florida Department of Transportation}}</ref> ==Future==Plans to extend Interstate 110 north from Interstate 10 to [[U.S. Highway 90 Alternate]] ([[Nine Mile Road]]), and possibly even as far as [[Interstate 65]] in southwestern Alabama, were discussed in the 1990s.<ref>Florida Department of Transportation.
