State Road 295

Florida State Road 295

Florida State Road 295 forms a ring around southwest Pensacola. The four to six lane route loops northward from the Main Gate to Pensacola Naval Air Station through Warrington to West Pensacola and Ninth Avenue in the city. This includes a short expressway segment (New Warrington Spur) at U.S. 90 and SR 727 (Fairfield Drive). Completed in 1973, this controlled access highway has an overpass above SR 298 (Lillian Highway), a parclo interchange with U.S. 90, and a wye interchange with SR 727.

The expressway portion of SR 295 combines with Fairfield Drive, which SR 295 follows for the remainder of its course to Pensacola. The arterial provides the northernmost third of a route between Interstate 110 and the Naval Air Station. East of I-110 (Exit 4), SR 295 ends at SR 289 (9th Street), with Fairfield Drive continuing northeast to 12th Avenue at Pensacola International Airport (PNS).

A portion of New Warrington Road bypassed by the New Warrington Spur expressway was retained as a segment of State Road 295. This 0.482 mile section of SR 295 links the expressway with SR 298 (Lillian Highway) west while also providing the missing movements to U.S. 90 (Mobile Highway) from the adjacent partial interchange.
