M-120 (Michigan highway)
Encyclopedia : M : M1 : M12 : M-120 (Michigan highway)
M-120 from Hesperia to Muskegon, was commissioned about 1970, and was originally part of M-20 until that road was relocated to New Era and US 31.
In the 1930's, M-120 was designated on a road from US 16 for about a mile at the northwest corner of Lansing before being redesignated on a road that runs parallel to the Michigan-Ohio state line, and connected with Ohio State Highway 120 on its east end and Indiana State Highway 120 on its west. In 1961, the M-120 designation was retired again until its current designation. The Ohio and Indiana 120 highways are still in place today with only the county road (old 120) in Michigan connecting them.
The current route starts at BUS US 31 where Muskegon Lake and the Muskegon River meet. As it crosses the river, it is known as the Veterans Memorial Causeway, with Veterans Memorial Park between the northbound and southbound sections of the road. This road continues north as Whitehall Road, which connects Muskegon to Whitehall (the former US 31 before the freeway was built). At Whitehall Road, M-120 turns east on Holton Road and continues in a northeastern direction. At Maple Island Road, the road heads north to Hesperia.
