M-55 (Michigan Highway) - Business Loop

Business Loop


BUS M-55
Location: Houghton Lake Heights
Length: 2.898 mi (4.664 km)
Existed: Early 1950–Late 1961

Business M-55 (BUS M-55) was a business loop designated for just over a decade in Houghton Lake Heights. BUS M-55 ran for 2.898 miles (4.664 km) along Houghton Lake Drive between US 27 and Federal Drive next to the Houghton Lake. M-55 was shifted off the road when several highways in the Houghton Lake area were rerouted. US 27 was moved to the west side of the lakes in the area, and M-55 was moved follow US 27, replace the original M-169 in the area and replace a section of the former routing of US 27 in Houghton Lake in 1949. By early 1950, the former route of M-55 through Houghton Lake Heights was designated BUS M-55. This business loop existed until the US 27 freeway was built in the area in late 1961. At that time, M-55 was moved back to its pre-1949 routing, replacing BUS M-55.
