History
The Michiana Parkway was constructed from CR 4, just south of the "Elkhart East" interchange (exit 96) of the Indiana Toll Road, to US 12 in Porter Township, along the boundary with Mason Township.[2] The Indiana portion was an upgrade and extension of Elkhart County Road 17 to the state line; Michigan's portion was entirely new construction built by the Michigan Department of Transportation and numbered M-217.[7][8] With the completion of M-217, MDOT and the Cass County Road Commission swapped roads on September 25, 2002.[2] MDOT took over jurisdiction of M-217 and gave M-205 to the road commission, an action that decommissioned M-205 as a state trunkline.[9][10]
Major intersections
The entire highway is along the Porter–Mason township line, Cass County.
