[edit] Route description
From Ortonville north to Bay City, the highway is designated as Recreation Heritage Route by the Michigan Department of Transportation. The routes roughly parallels I-75 to the east, and is promoted by communities as a scenic alternative to I-75 since it bypasses the Flint and Saginaw urban areas; however, it ends at the Bay City urban area.
