Interstate 96
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Interstate 96 or I-96 is an intrastate Interstate highway entirely within the U.S. state of Michigan. Its western terminus is at an interchange with US-31 and Bus. US-31, on the western boundary of Norton Shores southeast of Muskegon. Its eastern terminus is at I-75 near the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. From Detroit to Grand Rapids, it parallels Grand River Avenue, never straying more than a few miles from the decommisioned US-16.
In Detroit, I-96 is known as the Jeffries Freeway from its eastern terminus to the junction with I-275 and M-14.
