    For everyone so worried about the name of the road

    Nine mile ends where Davis merges onto Alt 90. Although 90 ends where Scenic Hwy Merges onto Davis Hwy. Davis Hwy ends at the foot of the bridge going to Pace right there at Mugs n Jugs.

    Just like FL – 296 is also Perry Ave, Bayou Blvd, Brent Ln, Beverly Pkwy, Michigan Ave, and Saufley Field.

    Multiple roads in Pensacola have many name changes or Multiple names. Just read the map on Google or watching when driving. I have lived here 41 years and I drive uber, not until I started driving Uber did I notice this about many roads.

    Prayers for the family

    All these renaming and routing can be confusing. I lived with my plain address for 20 years just fine – they put 4 new houses up and all of a sudden it’s an elaborate sounding estate subdivision!

    Davis Hwy and Scenic Hwy meet at the traffic light just past the Tom Thumb which has the address of 10398 N Davis Hwy.

    “Where is Davis and Scenic hiway?
    As a retired contractor,never seen this intersection
    Davis ends at Alt.90- 9 mile rd.”

    I thought the same thing. But the street signs at the intersection and even further east at Smith Fish Camp Rd all say Davis Highway.
