Length | 0.435 mi[1] (700 m) |
Existed | 1931[9]–Late 1960[10] |
The first usage of M-143 was designated from US 27 (now M-27) south of Cheboygan eastward for about a mile on Lincoln Avenue to the original Cheboygan State Park in 1931.[9] The park was removed from the state park system during World War II.[11] The highway along Lincoln Avenue was transferred back to local control in late 1960.[10]
Current designation
In late 1962, US 16 was decommissioned in the state of Michigan as Interstate 96 (I-96) was completed. With the removal of US 16, several highways were rerouted through Lansing. M-43 was rerouted along M-78 to Grand River Avenue and then along Grand River Avenue to replace US 16 east to Webberville. The former M-43 on Michigan Avenue east of Cedar and Larch streets was redesignated M-143.[2][3]
As part of the creation of the Capitol Loop, M-143 and Michigan Avenue in Lansing was partially transferred back to local control. The section between Cedar and Larch streets was retained as part of the new Capitol Loop and the remainder inside the city of Lansing was removed from the state trunkline highway system on October 13, 1989.[12] At the time, M-143 in the City of East Lansing was not transferred, and MDOT removed the signage, creating an unsigned trunkline.[13]
Since then, MDOT has used the trunkline's designation on maps and in brochures related to a 2013 reconstruction project on Michigan Avenue in East Lansing.[14][15] Signage has also been erected,[16] and the highway has been restored to the official state map in 2013.[17][18]
Major intersections
The entire highway is in Ingham County.
