County Road 298A (CR 298A, also known as West Jackson Street) is a county road in Escambia County. From the mid 1950s through the late 1970s/early 1980s, it was part of State Road 298A. It is an alternate route to SR 298 running between SR 727 (N Fairfield Drive), two blocks south of SR 298, and US 98/SR 292. It is approximately 4.6 miles (7.4 km) long, passing the western suburbs, Myrtle Grove, West Pensacola, and Brownsville. The entire road is only two lanes wide.
While the road was part of the state highway system, it extended north along Fairfield Drive to return to SR 298.[3] By 1981, the road had been removed from the state highway system and became part of CR 298A.[4] Through the late 2010s, CR 298A was extended further east to end at US 29/SR 95 (N Palafox Street) in downtown Pensacola.[5]
