[edit] Route description
The southern terminus is I-69 at exit 32 between Tekonsha and Marshall. From I-69, M-227 follows F Drive South east for approximately one mile, then turns north to follow Old US 27 into Marshall on Kalamazoo St.. The route continues west along Industrial Drive and then north on West Road. The northern terminus is BL I-94/Michigan Avenue on the west side of Marshall, near I-69.
It lies entirely within Calhoun County and is entirely an undivided surface route.
[edit] History
It came into existence nearly thirty-five years after the completion of I-69 in southern Michigan and, except for the section of old US 27, was long a collection of unnumbered local surface roads. It was designated as a part of Governor John Engler's Rationalization program on 1998-10-31 and first signed the second week of January 2001. [1]
