M-99
M-99

M-99 is a north-south highway in the state of Michigan that runs between Lansing, Hillsdale and the Ohio state line. All of M-99 is surface road, and some divided highway exists between Lansing and Eaton Rapids.

The Ohio Turnpike is easily accessible via SR 15 a few miles south of the state line.

M-99 is not particularly straight or direct, so it is not a favorite route for those who like expressway speeds, though it is a pleasant drive if one is not in a hurry.

One unusual aspect of the route is that it does not officially connect with its "child", M-199, which ends several blocks northwest of M-99 in Albion.

Historical Notes: In the 1920's, M-99 was designated on a road between the Lake Michigan shoreline and M-11 (now US31) between Muskegon and Hart; in the 1930s, M-99 was designated on a gravel road in the Upper Peninsula from US 2 (just east of Gulliver) to Port Inland on Lake Michigan, and the current M-99 was originally M-9.
