Updated the internal cross-links on scores of pages that, for some reason, still pointed to the old route listings on the multi-listing pages instead of the single route listing.

Also fixed links on the M-55 route listing that were, oddly, pointing to Internet Archive versions of pages of this website for some reason! In addition, did a lot of back-end HTML clean-up that should be invisible to site visitors, but would've kept this site's webmaster up at night if he hadn't done it... |

Decided to add the original-but-eventually-never-used Interstate route designations from AASHO's "Official Route Numbering for the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways" map adopted on August 14, 1957 to the Master List 1913–Present. These never implemented designations included: I-67 (never built), I-77 (became part of I-94), I-92 (became part of I-94), and I-94N (became I-196, now I-96). |
October 28, 2020 |
|
Added a newly "discovered" historic iteration of the M-144 route designation that was assigned but never actually constructed or posted in the field to the Master List 1913–Present. |
October 25, 2020 |

A listing of what is new or changed on the site today:
- Added a section containing what could be referred to as "named-designation" routes to the Master List 1913–Present for some routes which didn't have or do not have a route number. These may not be 100% "official" and may be updated over time if more "official" information can be located. For now, they include:
- BELLE ISLE ROADS – A catch-all listing for the entire network of roads on Belle Isle which were jurisdictionally transferred from the City of Detroit to the State of Michigan in 2014 when the State took over Belle Isle Park as a State Park. These roads are officially classified as Unsigned State Trunklines at present and are included on that page.
- CAPITOL LOOP – A duplicate listing. It's long been listed under I-496 CL which has seemed to be a secret internal designation used on some internal MDOT maps to denote the Capitol Loop, as if it were a business loop off I-496, which it essentially is.
- NORTHWESTERN HWY – Before it was designated as BS I-696, M-4, US-10 or M-4, all or portions of Northwestern Hwy did not bear a state trunkline highway designation, so it's listed here and, in the future, a route listing page will be created for it as well.
- WIARD RD – For less than a year after the US-12 designation was removed from Wiard Rd at Willow Run, this roadway bore no route designation and while nowadays it may been referred to by MDOT as "OLD US-12" until it was jurisdictionally transferred, it seems that during its time as an unsigned trunkline, it was referred to as just Wiard Rd.
- Made many other updates to the Master List 1913–Present, especially to former routes, including the years the route existed.
- Updated the links to the MDOT-created brochures for the M-6/South Beltline project and added a link to the commemorative brochure to the November 2004 historical item on the M-6 route listing and also updated some of the weblinks at the bottom of the page
- Updated the February 1985 historical item on the M-183 route listing.

BIG NEWS
|
|
Added the first three "new style" route listings pages to the site. Since 1997, the Route Listings have consisted of multiple routes (sometimes more than a dozen) per listings page. For example, the Routes 120–139 page not only contains complete details on 13 different routes, but included listings for US-127 and US-131, each of which were quite lengthy in their own rights! With more information being added to many of the listings, including "new" historical data, there seem to no longer be any benefit to breaking down the listings into "ranges" as has been done for the past 16 years. As such, I have begun the long process of separating each listing out into its own page. The first three "new style" route listings to be added to the site are: M-1, US-2, and M-3. At present I am planning on also including separate pages for each former state trunkline highway route as well (e.g. Former M-4). Doing so should allow me to pare down the information on the Master List page a bit, too.
Also made a few updates to the US-31 Freeway in Berrien County article (including adding sub-headings to break up the article a bit) and added the Controlled-Access Highways article to the In Depth section page. |
May 21, 2013 |
|
In preparation for the "new style" route listings (one route per page), I've added the Controlled-Access Highways page to the In Depth section to help define and differentiate Freeways and Expressways (e.g. Controlled-Access highways and Limited-Access highways). |
April 20, 2013 |
|
Finally brought the homepage over to the new site style including three new illustrative photos. (The old homepage images had been on there for almost a decade!) Also moved the blurb about being featured in Michigan History magazine to the About This Site page. |
March 22–
March 29, 2013 |
|
The majority of the website redesign/refresh work in this timeframe has been on pages in the Other Routes section, some of which have received substantial updates and improvements:
|
March 15–
March 21, 2013 |
|
Quite a bit more of the site has been converted over to the new design. As each page is converted, all external links are being checked and verified and in many instances new content is being added to either bring the information up-to-date or to augment what's already there. Examples of updated or expanded pages and articles include:
- Related LInks - All links checked, dead links removed, and several new links added.
- County Routes & Listings - New "index page" for all things county route-related in Michigan.
- Intercounty Highways - Moved to a new URL.
- County Routes - No content yet, but this will become an informational catch-all on the various county route systems other than the Intercounty Highway System (which has been covered on this site for many years).
|
March 14, 2013 |
|
Finished adding all of the current, former, and unsigned Intercounty Highway routes to the Master List: 1918–Present. Still a lot more work to go on the list, though... |

|

|
February 28–
March 11, 2013 |
|
Applied the new site design to more of the website. Instead of listing the individual pages here (that list is getting quite long), suffice it to say that many of the pages have been converted. This includes everything under the In Depth: News & Articles and About This Site headings and additional pages elsewhere. In the process of updating the design, however, some pages and articles have undergone updates or, in a few cases, complete overhauls, including:
|
February 28, 2013 |
|
Started debuting a new overall design and style for the Michigan Highways website. (Additional and continued tweaking will likely take place over the coming weeks and months, though!) The new pages so far are:
