EspañolU.S. ROUTE 98
(Redirected from U.S. Highway 98)
'U.S. Route 98' is an east-west United States highway that runs from southern Florida to western Mississippi. It was established in 1933 as a route between Pensacola, Florida and Apalachicola, Florida, and has since been extended eastward across the Florida Peninsula and westward into Mississippi. [1] It runs along much of the Gulf Coast between Crystal River, Florida and Mobile, Alabama, including extensive sections closely following the coast westward from St. Marks, Florida.
As of 2005, the highway's eastern terminus is Palm Beach, Florida, at State Road A1A. Its western terminus is near Washington, Mississippi, at U.S. Highway 61.
Concurrencies include US 441 from Royal Palm Beach to Okeechobee, US 27 from South Sebring to West Frostproof, US 17 from Fort Meade to Bartow, US 92 in Lakeland (eliminated in 2005, when rerouted along State Road 548), US 301 from Clinton Heights to Moss Town, FL 50 from Ridge Manor to Brooksville, FL 50A then US 41 in Brooksville, US 19 from Chassahowitzka to Perry, ALT US 27 from Chiefland to Perry, US 319 in Medart and from St. Theresa to Port St. Joe, and US 90 in Pensacola. The hidden designation for most of U.S. 98 across the panhandle of the state of Florida is State Route 30. Between Chassahowitzka and Palm Beach, the hidden designation is State Route 700.
In Alabama, U.S. 98 is paired with unsigned Alabama State Route 42. The route enters Alabama from the east near Lillian in rural Baldwin County. At Daphne, U.S. 98 begins a concurrency with U.S. Route 90. U.S. 90 and 98 junction Interstate 10 at Daphne on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, then again on the western side of the bay as they enter downtown Mobile. As U.S. 90 and 98 approach the Mobile River, they are split into two routes, with a Truck Route 90/98 crossing the Mobile River via the Cochrane-AfricaTown Bridge, and passenger car traffic passing under the Mobile River via the Bankhead Tunnel. Once they rejoin the Truck Route to the passenger car route in downtown Mobile, they split again. U.S. 90 continues west, U.S. 98 assumes a northwestward trajectory, and enters Mississippi near the community of Wilmer in western Mobile County. U.S. 98 is the southern terminus of two major U.S. highways: U.S. Route 31, at Spanish Fort, and U.S. Route 45 in Mobile.
U.S. 98 enters the state from the southeast and bypasses Lucedale on the way to Hattiesburg. At Hattiesburg, the highway overlaps Interstate 59 between Exit 59 and Exit 65 (Hardy Street). The highway then runs westward through Columbia before meeting U.S. 51 in McComb. It then overlaps Interstate 55 from Exit 15 (South McComb) to Exit 20 (Summit). U.S. 98 then runs westward to Bude and Meadville, where it then overlaps US 84 from Meadville to its western terminus in Washington at U.S. 61, just northeast of Natchez. There is some debate as to whether the highway actually runs with U.S. 61 to Natchez.
The Mississippi section of U.S. 98 is defined in Mississippi Code Annotated § 65-3-3.
Blue Mountain recorded a song titled "Bloody 98," specifically referring to the section of highway between Mobile, Alabama and Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
