Escambia County Road 99
There are three sections of County Road 99 posted in Escambia County. The southern branch traveled 7.61 miles north along Beulah Road, from Hurst Hammock Road north to County Road 184 at Muscogee. 2.59 miles of this section, from U.S. 90 Alternate to Isaacs Lane, was transferred to state maintenance in 2019. Florida State Road 99 will connect with Interstate 10 at a new interchange across from W Kingsfield Road. The bulk of this route is rural, except for in the Beulah area, where suburban growth encroaches from the east.
The middle section of CR 99 travels 14.99 miles north from the west end of CR 196 at Barrineau Park to Bay Springs, McKinnonville and State Riad 97 near Walnut Hill. Equally rural is the northern stretch, from SR 97 to Bratt and the Alabama state line. The FDOT Federal-Aid Road Report only attributes 6.21 miles of CR 99 from SR 97 to a point just north of CR 4, though the route is signed to the state border.
