Southern Entrance


 
US 23 departs the State of Michigan at the Ohio State Line, concurrently with US 223, southwest of Lambertville.   US 223 meets with its parent route 5 miles north of the Ohio border.  From there, it is routed onto US 23, and the two routes concurrently head south into Ohio to the interchange US 23 has with OH 51 and OH 184 in Sylvania, 0.75 mile into the Buckeye State, where US 223 comes to an end.

Northern Terminus


   
The Northern Terminus of US 23 is at I-75 (Exit 338) in Mackinaw City, approximately 1 mile south of the Mackinac Bridge.  As a result of a recent re-signing project, there are now two US 23 ENDS shield assemblies in place here.  The first one, which is shown in Photo # 1, is paired off with a JCT M-108 shield.  Photo #2 shows the shield assembly in place where US 23 intersects M-108 1 block before it meets I-75.  As for the second US 23 ENDS assembly, which is featured in Photo # 3, it is situated at the point where US 23 North merges in with I-75 North.

These two pictures show the exit signage in place along I-75 South leading up to the US 23 interchange.   This is a partial interchange, with access permissible only from US 23 North to I-75 North, and from I-75 South to US 23 South.  Access from US 23 North to I-75 South and from I-75 North to US 23 South requires the use of M-108.

This is the M-108 South perspective of US 23's Northern Terminus.  Only US 23 in the southbound direction is noted here; the brief remaining stretch of US 23 North is marked as an on-ramp to I-75 North from M-108 South.
