Route description
M-136 begins at a junction with M-19 just south of Brockway on the north side of Mill Creek. The route heads eastward for a short distance before bending to the southeast on Beard Road. The road then turns eastward and heads toward Avoca. The route continues in this direction for a distance before turning southward on Glyshaw Road and then turning east, returning to Bear Road. From here, it continues on a general east-southeast track as it heads towards Gardendale. The road then branches southeastward to connect with M-25 two miles (3 km) from I-94 and I-69 and their International Border crossing on the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron.
History
M-136 was commissioned in 1931 as a route connecting what was M-19 and M-51 (present day M-25). In 1962, the M-51 designation that existed from M-136 to US-25A (present day Pine Grove Avenue) was removed and declared an extension of M-136, bringing the route to its present day alignment, it has remained as such since this time.
Major intersections
The entire highway is in St. Clair County.
