M-96 is a largely urban highway in the U.S. state of Michigan between Kalamazoo and Marshall. Its termini are both on business loops of I-94, the eastern one coincides with an intersection with I-69. Between Kalamazoo and Marshall it passes through Comstock, Galesburg, Augusta, and Battle Creek intersecting I-194/M-66 in Battle Creek and I-94 near Ceresco.
Throughout its route, most of M-96 follows the path of the old Alternate US 12 (which had been US 12 previously). US 12 was moved after the completion of I-94 in southern Michigan. All of M-96 is surface road, little of it divided.
Some parts of it lie within 40 miles of I-96, which could cause confusion.
