Branch County MI (0)
The main route between Detroit and Chicago is now I-94, which is not suitable for bicycling. Before I-94 was built, US-12 served that role. It runs further south than I-94, a little closer to Michigan's border with Indiana. Except that when it was the main east-west road, it was US-112. It was renumbered when I-94 was built.
