Interstate 194 (Michigan)
Interstate 194 (I-194) is a three-mile (5 km) long, north–south freeway between downtown Battle Creek and I-94 in the southern portion of the city. The highway has been locally designated the Sojourner Truth Downtown Parkway after the abolitionist Sojourner Truth, who was active in the Battle Creek area. Locals refer to the freeway by its semi-official nickname,"The Penetrator". I-194 is the only three-digit spur or loop route off I-94 in the state of Michigan and coincides throughout its length with M-66, which continues both north and south from the termini of I-194. The freeway was built in 1961 and completed in its current form in 1966. The highway was named in 1976 for Truth in honor of her local connections to the area.

Famous quotes containing the word interstate:
“At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
