Interstate 110 (I-110) is a {{convert|6.341|mi|km|adj=on}} auxiliary route of the Interstate Highway System in Pensacola, Florida, extending north from U.S. Route 98 (US 98) to I-10. I-110 carries the hidden Florida Department of Transportation designation of State Road 8A. The easternmost auxiliary route of I-10 and the only auxiliary route of I-10 in Florida, it is also known as the Reubin O'Donovan Askew Parkway in honor of the former governor of Florida who originated in Pensacola.
Route description
I-110 consists of six interchanges. Unlike most Florida Interstates, it retained its sequential exit numbering system when others switched to a mile-log system.{{cite web |url=http://www.dot.state.fl.us/TrafficOperations/Operations/exitnumb/nchanges.shtm |title=Florida's Interstate Exit Numbers |publisher=Florida Department of Transportation |access-date=2010-11-18 |archive-date=2010-11-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101128054849/http://www.dot.state.fl.us/TrafficOperations/Operations/exitnumb/nchanges.shtm |url-status=dead }}
The freeway begins at exits 1A through 1C, composing a directional T interchange that connects I-110 to Gregory Street, Chase Street (US 98), and Garden Street (US 98 Business) adjacent to the Pensacola Bay Center. Exit 2, {{convert|0.5|mi|km}} north, links I-110 to Cervantes Street (US 90/US 98) via a southbound exit and northbound entrance. Exit 3, {{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in|adj=pre|further }} north, consists of a southbound exit and northbound entrance to and from Maxwell and Jordan Streets. I-110 is elevated on separate viaducts for northbound and southbound lanes throughout this initial {{convert|2.4|mi|km|adj=on}} span through downtown Pensacola.

North of exit 3, the freeway is built at-grade, and there are two modified diamond interchanges. The first is exit 4, leading to Fairfield Drive (SR 295). Both northbound ramps of exit 4 are located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection and directly connect to Davis Highway (SR 291). Approximately {{convert|1.5|mi|km}} north is exit 5, an interchange with Brent Lane (SR 296) and Airport Boulevard (SR 750).
I-110's northern terminus is at I-10. There is a modified trumpet/semi-directional T interchange at this location with additional direct connections to SR 291.
History
I-110 was completed between I-10 and SR 295/Fairfield Drive by 1965. An extension south to Maxwell Street was completed in 1969. In 1978, I-110 was further extended south to its current terminus in Downtown Pensacola. The original freeway was four lanes for its entirety and connected to I-10 via an unmodified trumpet interchange.
In the 1990s, there was official discussion of extending I-110 north to US 90 Alternate (Nine Mile Road) and possibly as far as I-65 in southwestern Alabama.Florida Department of Transportation. "I-10 to I-65 Corridor Study". Tallahassee, Florida, 1993. However, political and financial hurdles stalled serious consideration of the project.Barnes, Brad, and Charles Ashby. "I-65 link is 'dead in the water'". Pensacola News Journal, Pensacola, Florida, May 26, 1995. The link was later cancelled.
Between 2004 and 2009, I-110 was rebuilt and expanded to a minimum of six lanes between I-10 and Maxwell Street. Reconstruction of the freeway included access to and from Airport Boulevard via a modification of the existing Brent Lane interchange.{{cite web|url=http://www.i10-i110.com/description.htm |title=FDOT Escambia County Transportation Improvement Projects-Project Descriptions |access-date=July 7, 2007 |author=Florida Department of Transportation |author-link=Florida Department of Transportation |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070616205605/http://www.i10-i110.com/description.htm |archive-date=June 16, 2007 }} The interchange with I-10 was rebuilt to include new flyover ramps to I-10 eastbound and from I-10 westbound, as well as direct connections to and from SR 291.
Originally, north of SR 750/Airport Boulevard, there was an overpass for SR 742 along Burgess Road. In 2006, SR 742 was rerouted along a new, wider overpass at Creighton Road, and the Burgess Road overpass was demolished.
