North of Milton, it joins a concurrency with State Road 87, which is also a four-lane divided highway north and south of this concurrency, which ends in Point Baker where SR 89 branches off to the northwest onto two-lane undivided Oriole Street just before SR 87 runs in front of Whiting Field.

As Oriole Street, SR 89 spends much of its time switching from running northwest to straight north.

The next intersection that passes for a major one is County Road 178(Spanish Trail) which spans from New York and north of Allentown.

Further northeast it enters the Town of Jay, where SR 89 is named South Alabama Street.

After one more local street, it takes a sharp northwest turn at a wye intersection with Dixonville Road.
