Michigan Route 29

M-30 >

Southern Terminus: I-94 @ M-3, W of New Baltimore, Macomb County.
Northern Terminus: BL I-94, Marysville, St. Clair County.

While I-94 serves as the most direct route between the New Baltimore and Port Huron vicinities, M-29 provides a much more scenic alternative between the two areas.  For the most part, M-29 straddles the northern shore of Lake St. Clair and the western banks of the St. Clair River.

Southern Terminus


 
The Southern Terminus of M-29 is at a six-ramp parclo interchange with I-94 (Exit 243) west of New Baltimore.  Continuing straight ahead is M-3 South, which begins as M-29 comes to an end.  Historically, in addition to M-3, M-59 West also began at this point until 1998, when it was reconstructed, and in turn re-routed to end at I-94's Exit 240, 3 miles to the south of this point.  The M-29 ENDS signage here is new, having been erected in 2005.

Northern Terminus


 
M-29's Northern Terminus is at BL I-94 in Marysville.  At the traffic signal ahead, there is no left turn permitted.  As a result, M-29 North traffic defaults onto BL I-94 East.  Motorists must use the next available turnaround after the intersection to access BL I-94 West.  Just like the case with the Southern Terminus, at the Northern Terminus of M-29 there was not an M-29 ENDS shield assembly present for a long time, until one was erected just recently.

This is the BL I-94 West perspective of the starting point of M-29 South.  A pair of guide signs stand here, with the one on the left pointing toward M-29/Busha Hwy. and the one on the right pointing to BL I-94 West and the start of Gratiot Ave., which travels from here to downtown Detroit.

The assembly with BL I-94 East and M-29 South shields shown here stands on BL I-94 East as it approaches the intersection that serves as the Northern Terminus of M-29.
