I-75 |
 |
|
I-75 is Michigan's longest route-numbered
highway, stretching from Ohio on the south through the entire Lower
Peninsula, across the mighty Mackinac Bridge and across the eastern end
of the Upper Peninsula, terminating at the Ontario border in Sault Ste
Marie. As such, I-75 is often referred to as "Michigan's Main Street."
Not only is I-75 a major north-south route in the U.S., it is equally
important to commerce and travel within the state of Michigan. On the
tourism side, I-75 is the preferred route for Michigan's southeast
residents heading "Up North" on weekends and holidays. |
