Michigan Highways Master List: 1918-Present
The "Michigan Highways Master List" is a complete list of every state trunkline
designation ever used in Michigan, from 1918 to today. This list was concieved
out of many requests for information on old highway designations no longer
in use in the state, such as "Was there ever an M-41?" or "I heard about
an ALTERNATE US-23. Was there such a thing?"
This page lists each designation in numerical order, from 1 through 696, and
is separated into listings generally corresponding to the setup of the Michigan
Highways website (e.g. 1-9, 10-19, etc.) for easier reference. Five 'types' of
highways are included: current, unsigned, future and former highways,
as well as those designations which have never
been used to date. Each is color-coded, as shown in the "Highway Status
Key" below. Those Current state highways include a link to the regular listing
on the website. The current few Unsigned highways
are also linked to a listing on the website. For those Formerly-Used designations,
a short description of the former highway is included for referencial purposes.
Often, links to current highway listings are also included. Never-Used designations,
of course, feature no description, as they have never existed in the system.
With an undertaking of this magnitude, there may be a designation or two which
have been overlooked or mis-stated. I have combed through dozens of sources and
literally hundreds of old road and street maps, so the information contained
on this page is reasonably complete and accurate. However, if you should find
any information which is incorrect, or if you know of a designation which has
not been included here, please drop me a line at Bessert1@aol.com.

GRAND RAPIDS: When US-16 was transferred onto the southern and western bypass of Grand Rapids (the former BYP US-16), the former route of US-16 through downtown Grand Rapids was designated BUS US-16. |
| US-16 BUS | FMR |
FARMINGTON: For many years, the "Farmington Cut-Off" (now the M-5 freeway) was for eastbound traffic only, meaning the original route of US-16 along Grand River Ave through downtown Farmington retained the "official" routing of US-16. Later, when the "Cut-Off" was opened to two-way traffic and US-16 transferred to it, the former route of US-16 through Farmington was designated BUS US-16. Replaced by BL I-96 in the 1960s, now an unsigned state highway. |

The Michigan State Highway Dept originally designated M-13 from Kawkawlin to Standish as ALT US-23 when the current I-75/US-23 freeway was completed in 1967. MSHD actually posted the former US-23 as "ALT US-23," but when that designation was not approved by the AASHTO, the department gave in and extended the M-13 designation along the route. |
| US-23A | FMR |
Another short-lived US-23A designation existed from c.1929-1930 when a new US-23 routing was built on the east shore of the Saginaw River between Saginaw and Bay City. The former route was designated US-23A for only a short time, assumedly since the AASHTO declined to okay this new designation. By 1931, US-23A had been redesignated as part of M-47. |

(This had been previously designated as US-25A.) Then, when the Detroit-Toledo Expressway was completed from the Ohio state line northerly past Monroe to the Woodhaven area of Wayne Co, it was designated US-24A. A few years later, US-24A was decommissioned in favor of the I-75 designation. |

One of the earliest Alternate US Highways in the nation. The US-27 mainline ran northerly into St. Louis, while US-27A ran west into downtown Alma, then north back to US-27 west of St. Louis and north of Alma. When the US-27 freeway was completed at St. Louis and Alma in the 1960s, this US-27A routing was redesignated as BUS US-27, a "mirror-image" of St. Louis' BUS US-27. |
| US-27A | FMR |

For many years, there were two routings for US-27 and M-78 through downtown Lansing. The US-27/M-78 "Passenger Car Route" ran along Capitol Ave and Saginaw St. (This would be considered the "mainline" routing.) A US-27/M-78 "Truck Route" ran east on Main St, north on Grand Ave, east on Kalamazoo Ave and north on Larch St. TRUCK US-27/TRUCK M-78 was eventually replaced by the mainline US-27/M-78 when the Capitol Ave routing was given back to local control. |

US-31A was the original downtown Muskegon bypass along Getty and Marquette Aves. Later, US-31 was transferred onto the US-31A alignment, and US-31A was moved onto the former US-31 routing through downtown Muskegon. US-31A was redesignated BUS US-31 in the 1940s, and retains that designation today. |

M-31 was a pre-1926 highway. In 1920, M-31 began in Saginaw and ran easterly on present M-81 through Reese, then north through Gilford on Bradleyville Rd, then east again on present M-138 through Fairgrove and Akron. M-31 then turned north on present M-24 into Unionville and northeasterly along present M-25 through Sebewaing. South of Bay Port, M-31 turned east to follow the present M-142 through Bad Axe to M-27 (later M-51) west of Harbor Beach, where it ended. In 1923, M-31 continued east into Harbor Beach, then south along present M-25 through Port Sanilac and Lexington, ending in Port Huron. With the coming of US Highways in 1926, M-31 gave way to countless other designations and has not been used since, assumedly to minimize confusion with US-31. |

HOUGHTON LAKE HEIGHTS: For many years, M-55 turned south to run concurrently with US-27, then turned east back to its current alignment at Houghton Lake, effectively bypass Houghton Lake Heights. The former route of M-55 throught the Heights bore the BUS M-55 during this timeframe. It is now part of the M-55 mainline again. |
| M-56 | FMR |
M-56 had two main alignments over the years.
The first began in Monroe, looped east of US-24 & US-25, crossed
back over at Flat Rock and continued northwesterly via New Boston and
Belleville, then north to end at present US-12 north of Belleville.
Over time, the northern end of M-56 was realigned onto the M-112/Willow
Run Expwy for a time, and was scaled back to end at New Boston (northern
terminus) until it was eventually scaled back to Monroe. There, it
stayed as a very short connector between M-125 in downtown Monroe and
I-75, and was eventually redesignated as part of M-50. Then, in the 1970s when M-21 was transferred to the M-78 (now I-69) freeway between Lennon and Flint, the former route of M-21 was redesignated as M-56. This lasted until the mid-1980s when M-21 was removed from I-69 and transferred back onto its previous alignment along Corunna Rd between Lennon and Flint. |

| I-69 TEMP | FMR |
Existed from 1973 until 1992, connecting
completed portions of I-69 in Mid-Michigan and likely the only route
ever officially designated "TEMPORARY" in Michigan. In 1973, the portion
of the M-78 freeway from Morrice to Flint was redesignated as part
of I-69 and all of M-78 from Charlotte to Morrice was redesignated
as TEMPORARY I-69. The route of TEMP I-69 followed US-27 from Charlotte
to I-96 southwest of Lansing, ran easterly on I-96 to I-496/US-127,
then north on I-496 and US-127 to Saginaw Rd, then northeasterly out
of the Lansing area, connecting to the I-69 freeway Morrice. TEMP I-69 was cut into to pieces in 1987 when the portion of I-69 from I-96 southwest of Lansing in Eaton Co to Exit 94 north of Haslett in Clinton Co was designated as such. The portion of the former TEMP I-69 from US-127 to Exit 94 became part of a new BL I-69. The eastern segment of TEMP I-69 from Exit 94 to Morrice was replaced by a completed I-69 freeway in 1990, while the western segment of TEMP I-69 from Charlotte to I-96 was completely replaced by October 1992, when the final segment of I-69 was completed. |

M-70 originally existed as a Prescott-Whittemore routing in the early-1920s, later adjusted to its "classic" routing, from M-76 at Sterling to M-55 near Prescott. That "classic" routing began in Sterling and continued north on Melita Rd to Main Street Rd, then east to Reed Rd, north again on Reed Rd, east for a mile on Maple Ridge Rd to Maple Ridge, then north on Briggs Rd into Ogemaw Co. In Ogemaw Co, M-70 ran northerly along Sage Lake Rd through Prescott, ending at M-55. It was decommissioned in 1959. |

In 1920, M-74 existed as a "cut-off" route
for M-14 (US-27's predecessor route) in Clare and Missaukee Counties.
Beginning at M-14 north of Harrison, M-74 ran west to Leota, then northerly
through Moddersville and Butterfield, ending at M-14 at Merritt. (During
that time, M-14 bent west, then north from Houghton Lake to connect
with M-13 south of Kalkaska, instead of continuing northerly past Houghton
and Higgins Lakes toward Grayling.) In 1923, M-14 was routed to the east of Houghton and Higgins Lakes on the later route of US-27. The former route of M-14 in Missaukee Co from Merrit northerly to Moorestown, then west to Pioneer was redesignated as an extension of M-74.All of M-74 south of Moddersville (via Leota to M-14 north of Harrison) was turned back to local control in 1925, making M-74 a spur-route south of Merritt. The southern spur from Merritt to Moddersville was removed in 1938, with the remainder of M-74 being removed in 1939. |

M-76's earliest alignment around 1920 connected
Standish with Roscommon via a very convoluted route running through
Sterling, Maple Ridge, Prescott, Selkirk, West Branch and St Helen.
In 1923, M-76 moved to a direct alignment between Standish and West
Branch. In 1925, M-76 was extended northerly to Grayling, then westerly
to Kalkaska. A short disconnected segment of M-76 opened near Empire
in 1934. In 1940, M-76 was scaled back to end in Roscommon, with all
of M-76—including the disconnected segment at Empire—west
of Grayling beging redesignated M-72. During the late-60s and early-70s, the M-76 freeway was built in stages between Standish and I-75 south of Grayling, with segments opening in 1968, 1970 and 1971. Then, as the last segment was completed in 1973, all of the M-76 freeway was redesignated as I-75, and the M-76 designation has not been used since. |

M-114 was the original designation of what

Ave from M-50 (now M-45) to US-16 (now Remembrance Ave), and 28th St
from US-16 (now Cascade Rd) at Cascade to US-131 (now Division St)—were
completed in 1928. In 1930, the western segment of M-114 was extended
south from M-50 to M-21 (now Chicago Dr) in Grandville, and the southern
leg was extended west from US-131 to Clyde Park Ave. In 1933, the East
Beltline portion of M-114 was completed from US-131 south of Rockford
to present 28th St southeast of Grand Rapids. Also, the southern leg
of M-114 along present-day 28th St was extended west to meet the western
leg of M-114, creating a three-sided beltline, with a spur to Cascade. Work began on the "North Beltline" segment of M-114, running east-west along 3 Mile Rd, with the portion from the "East Beltline" westerly to the Grand River being completed by 1942. It was at that time, however, that the south and west legs of the Beltline system were redesignated as BYP US-16, leaving M-114 on the east and partially-completed north legs. Sources show the partially-completed north leg of M-114 along today's 3 Mile Rd was turned back to local control in 1943, with the last remaining segment of M-114—the East Beltline portion—being redesignated as part of BYP US-131 in 1945. The M-114 designation has not been used since. |

Originally constructed as an access route to Straits State Park in St. Ignace, M-122 also served another purpose. The highway was built in 1929 to connect US-31 in downtown St Ignace at the State Highway Ferry Docks with the entrance to Straits State Park. By 1936, M-122's focus had shifted from providing access to the state park to providing access to the new state highway ferry docks in southeastern St. Ignace. US-2 was rerouted into St. Ignace at the same time, so M-122 essentially served as a connection between US-2 and the ferry docks. The highway was removed from the official highway map in mid-1952, although it seems the route may have held on in reality until the completion of the Mackinac Bridge in 1957. |

served as a short connector route from M-39/Michigan Ave (later M-43,
now un-signed M-143) to the Michigan State Police Headquarters in East
Lansing. Four years later in 1940, M-144 was transferred back to local
control. 2.) The M-144 designation was almost immediately transferred onto what had been previously designated M-72 from M-76 east of Roscommon to M-72 near Luzerne. A few realignments from the late-40s to the early-60s brought M-144's termini to downtown Roscommon and M-72 near Eldorado. When the completion of I-75 in 1973 made M-18's route northwest of Roscommon unnecessary, it was transferred onto the route of M-144, completely supplanting it. The M-144 designation has not been used since. |

The M-145 designation was to be used for a western bypass of the City of Jackson which was never completed. M-145—which would have likely been redesignated as M-50 or BYP M-50 if completed—was to begin at M-50 near Vandercook Lake and run arc westerly, northwesterly and northerly around the City of Jackson, connecting back with M-50 northwest of Jackson. One section of highway was acutally designated M-145 (on paper, if not in reality): Springport Rd between Airport Rd and Rives Junction Rd. This proposed bypass was likely dropped in the 1950s in favor of the eastern (now US-127) freeway bypass. |

M-146 dates to 1933 when a north-south M-21 Connector route along 24th St in western Port Huron between US-25 (later M-25, now BL I-94) and M-21 (now Lapeer Rd). In 1954, a new approach highway was constructed leading away from the Blue Water Bridge, arcing southwesterly to M-21/Lapeer Rd and was designated M-146, connecting with the existing M-146 routing by jogging east on M-21. This new approach route was converted to freeway in c.1958. In 1964, much of the newer freeway portion of M-146 was assumed into the I-94/US-25 freeway, while the westernmost portion of that freeway section of M-146 became somewhat of a glorified off-ramp from I-94, but retaining the M-146 designation. At that time, though, the original 24th St alignment of M-146 was turned back to local control. At some point after that—possibly when the M-21 freeway spur was completed—the M-146 desingnation was dropped and has not been re-used since. |

previously county-maintained roads from US-112 (at present-day jct

Ottawa Lake easterly via Samaria, ending at US-25 (now M-125) at Erie.
Simultaneously, the original M-151 is technically redesignated as an
extension of US-112 into Niles, although the M-151 markers on the original
route may have remained until later in 1935. By 1935, the original
M-151 is officially relegated to history. 2.) The second iteration of M-151 was designated in January 1935 from US-223 to US-25 in southern Monroe Co. In mid-November 1965, all of M-151 east of US-23 was turned back to local control, with the remainder of M-151 being replaced by a rerouted US-223 in 1977. |

In early 1934, M-9 (later M-99) was routed in southern Hillsdale Co thusly: north on Pioneer Rd, west on Burt Rd, jogging at Goose Neck Bend, north on Clark Rd, west on Montgomery Rd through Frontier, then north on Hillsdale Rd into Hillsdale. In 1934, an M-158 loop was under construction north on Pioneer Rd from Burt Rd to Montgomery Rd, then west on Montgomery back to M-9 at Frontier, effectively making it a loop from M-9. Later in 1934, it seems the routing of M-9 was transferred to the new M-158, but the M-158 routing continued to appear on official highway maps until 1936! The M-158 designation has not been re-used since. |

M-171 debuted in 1932 as a loop route off US-23, beginning in northern Alcona Co, looping northwesterly through Spruce, then north and northeast to meet back with US-23 southwest of downtown Alpena. In late-1934, that route was turned back to local control, but was brought back in late-1936 (or early-1937) along the former inland route of US-23 from Oscoda to near Spruce. M-171 was removed in 1960 and its former route received the F-41 designation in 1970. |

In the 1930s, M-28 ran across central Alger Co along the present-day route of M-94, while M-94 ran north from Shingleton along today's H-15, then west into Musining on today's H-58, continuing toward AuTrain along present-day M-28. This created a 1-mile state highway between M-94 in downtown Munising and M-28 near Wetmore, which was given the M-178 designation in mid-1934. In 1941, the routes of M-28 and M-94 west of Munising were swapped to their present routings, eliminating the M-178 designation. |

M-208 existed along a 13-mile stretch of present-day M-72 from US-27 (now BL I-75) in Grayling to the "Wakeley Bridge" over a branch of the Au Sable River in southeast Crawford Co. When the connection between the Wakeley Bridge and M-72 at Eldorado was completed in late-1940 or early-1941, M-72 was rerouted westerly, replacing M-208 in its entirety into Grayling. The M-208 designation has not been re-used since. |
| M-209 | FMR |
For many years, M-209 was a very short spur highway leading from the 90-degree bend in M-109 at Glen Haven, northerly through the one-time community of Glen Haven, ending at the access road to the Coast Guard Lifesaving Station. M-209 was 0.4 mile in length, meaning it was 0.3 mile SHORTER than the current shortest state highway, M-212, which clocks in at 0.7 mile. M-209 was turned back to local control in c.1995-96. |

M-214 dated to late-1934 when the former M-79 route from west of Nashville to downtown Vermontville was re-designated M-214. (At this time, M-66 through Ionia Co was designated M-14.) The highway was later scaled back from Vermontville to end in downtown Nashville, serving as a 3-mile connector route along today's M-79 from M-79 west of Nashville to M-14 in Nashville. M-214 survived M-14's redesignation as M-66 in 1941 by about a decade, until it was supplanted by a rerouting of M-79 in 1953. |

In c.1937, M-218 was extended into downtown Pontiac. In 1963, the entire route was transferred to local control. Extensions of M-218 southwesterly through South Lyon to US-12 at Chelsea and northeasterly via Utica to US-25 at Richmond were proposed in the 1930s, but never built. These extensions would have turned M-218 into a de facto Detroit bypass route. |

M-219 was one of several highways whose sole purpose was to connect the various railroad and carferry docks with the state highway system. Others were located in Menominee, St Ignace, Elberta, Ludington, Muskegon, etc. Commissioned in the mid-1930s, M-219 lasted until c.1966 as the Ann Arbor Railroad slowly decreased the number of ferry sailings from Elberta to Manistique, ending the service in 1967. |
