M-75 is a 11.768-mile-long (18.939 km) segment of state trunkline highway located in Charlevoix County in the U.S. state of Michigan. This highway serves as a loop off US Highway 131 (US 131), providing access to Boyne City. The highway happens to be geographically close to Interstate 75 (I-75), but they are not related.

Route description

Southern terminus of M-75 at US 131 in Boyne Falls

M-75 begins in downtown

average annual daily traffic (AADT) in traffic surveys. AADT is a measure of the average traffic levels for a section of roadway on any given day of the year. The southern segment of M-75 carried 6,500 vehicles daily in the 2007 survey.[5] Of these vehicles, commercial traffic was measured at 280 trucks.[6]

East of Boyne City, M-75 turns northward and runs in that direction until turning again to follow the south shore of

C-81/Springvale Road.[4] This northern segment carried 4,100 vehicles and 170 trucks in 2007.[5][6] Neither segment is listed on the National Highway System, a system of strategically important highways.[7]

History

In 1919, the trunkline running through Boyne City was originally labeled M-57.[2] In 1927, the entire highway was renumbered, and since this change, the trunkline has carried the M-75 moniker.[3] The M-75 designation was left unaltered when US 27 between Gaylord and Indian River was converted to a freeway; this freeway was redesignated as I-75 in 1962.[8][9] Some states, such as California, do not allow two highways in their state to carry the same highway number,[10] which is not the case in Michigan.[11] A reconstruction project in 1966 bypassed some sharp curves in the roadway and straightened sections between Boyne City and Walloon Lake.[12][13] As of 2008, the highway remains unaltered since the reconstruction.[11]

Major intersections

The entire highway is in Charlevoix County.
