M-50 (Michigan highway)
Encyclopedia : M : M5 : M50 : M-50 (Michigan highway)
M-50 is a trunkline and state highway in Michigan. Although designated as an east-west highway, it is nearly a diagonal northwest-southeast route. It has its western terminus near Alto a few miles/kilometers east of greater Grand Rapids and its eastern terminus in downtown Monroe.
In the pre-Interstate era, M-50 served as most of the Grand-Rapids-Jackson route for those who sought to avoid greater Lansing. Except for segments in which it coincides with US 127 it is all undivided surface road. At one time, M-50 extended west all the way to Agnew on Lake Michigan in Ottawa County. In the 1960s, M-50 was truncated at Lowell and the segment west of Grand Rapids was redesignated as M-45.
