U.S. Route 98 is an east-west United States highway that runs 671 miles from the Alabama-Florida state line to southern Florida. It is the longest US road in Florida. It was established in 1933 as a route between Pensacola and Apalachicola, and has since been extended eastward across the Florida Peninsula and westward into Mississippi. It runs along much of the Gulf Coast between Mobile, Alabama and Crystal River, Florida, including extensive sections closely following the coast eastward from the Alabama-Florida state line to St. Marks. At a length of 671 miles, US 98 is the longest numbered route in the state of Florida. Within Florida, US 98 is marked as an east–west road from the Alabama-Florida border to Perry. Throughout most of the Florida Peninsula, the road is marked as a north–south road, but directions return to east-west on the northeast shore of Lake Okeechobee. As is the case with all Florida roads with federal designations, the entirety of US 98 has a hidden Florida Department of Transportation designation: State Road 80 from the US route's eastern terminus at SR A1A to Main Street in Belle Glade.
