The History of
Roads in Michigan

Welcome to the Michigan Highways website, dedicated to the past, present and future of the Michigan State Trunkline system as well as other highways and routes throughout the Great Lakes State. This website is intended to be a clearinghouse of information on Michigan's highways, from easily-recognized facts to the little-known trivia. It is also meant to change as the state trunkline system changes.

A major part of this website are the Highway Listings which contain information on every state trunkline in Michigan, as well as some other non-state-maintained routes. The timeframe covered by this site is generally from 1918—the year the first trunklines were assigned their route numbers—to present.

The navigation tools provided, including the menus found at left, should help you navigate through the website. Also, more content and new information is planned in the future. Please check back regularly to see what has been added!
Be sure to check out any of the informative articles in the "In Depth" section by clicking on the section header (or the "more...") in the navigation area to the left. Only a sampling of the available articles are listed on the main navigation menu.

As featured in the "Webwatcher" column in the January/February 2012 issue of Michigan History magazine!
