Previous to the construction of the US 131 Cadillac bypass in Wexford County, US 131 was routed north from the Grand Rapids area on a freeway that ended south of town. US 131 continued northward on Mitchell Street through town. M-55 intersected US 131 downtown Cadillac, and ran along US 131 to the south of town. With the completion of the southern half of the bypass in 2000, M-55 was rerouted out of town along the new freeway. Once the northern half of the bypass was completed on October 30, 2001, US 131 was rerouted out of town along the new highway to the end of the freeway where it joined the old alignment north of town. Mitchell Street through downtown Cadillac was redesignated as BUS US 131.
