Former Michigan spur routes

The US state of Michigan has used several highway designated as spur routes to connect a highway with a town. These former spur routes listed below predate the usage of business route designations and are all decommissioned.

M-101

M-101
Location:	Millersburg – US 23, Case Township
Length:	1.22 mi[1] (1.96 km)

M-101 was the designation of a former state trunkline route in the US state of Michigan. A spur route out of Millersberg in Presque Isle County which connected the town with the nearby US 23 highway to the north.^[2]

Like many state highway spurs that served a town that was bypassed, M-101 was very short when it existed. The road, now known as Millersburg Road, ran from Big Cut Highway in Millersburg, north to a junction with the former route of U.S. Route 23, which is now M-68, covering a distance of just 1.22 miles (1.96 km).
