About this Site

Welcome to Michigan Highways, a creation of one person and dedicated to the past, present and future of the Michigan state trunkline highway 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 component are the Highway Listings which contain information on every state trunkline highway in Michigan, as well as some other non-state-maintained routes. The timeframe covered by this site is generally from 1913—the year the first state trunkline routes were officially established—to the present.

While this site has been created by and is maintained by a single individual and not associated with any government agency, department or office, nor associated with any corporate entity, countless individuals have contributed tons of information over the decades to help make the site what it is today. Without them, the site would be a mere shadow of what it is now. While this site concentrates mostly on presenting facts, any opinions which sneak through are only those of the author. While government agency websites cannot be (and are usually not) completely devoid of politics, this site attempts to look at all sides of the issues to make an informed conclusion based on the facts. Feedback and differing opinions are always welcomed.
