I had the day off yesterday, and decided to get a last glimpse of President Ford. I, and about 60000 fellow Americans, 50 of which joined me at freeway...
GAYLORD - Officials continue to move forward on a single I-75 crossover project at Milbocker and McCoy roads with hope to start construction in spring 2008. ...
Barry, I applaud your tenacity in viewing a once-in-a-lifetime event. I, too, was able to pay my respects to President Ford this morning at around 6:00 a.m. -...
I second Barry's comments. Gerald Ford was a wonderful man who served his country with integrity and leadership. I was born after Ford left the presidency, but...
... I was always under the impression that all of I-196 was designated as the Ford Freeway. I believe that all of those memorial designations are legislated (I...
I went to the SOS today as suggested, however they were slammed so I didn't bother going in. Check back again later and it was still busy! I really didn't...
... I, too, would like to join in this rather OT thread and appreciate the indulgence... As with so many others alive today, while I was alive during the Ford...

... This is welcome news. I drive that stretch of Saginaw fairly frequently and 35 always seemed to be unreasonably slow. Ditto the stretch of Hagadorn between...
... This was what I was assuming happened. When the Legislature re- codified all of the memorial highways in 2001, they inadvertantly made quite a few...
... Just postulating here... Could the "Walk" signal light up right when the cross street's light turns red? Meaning that while the light you're seeing stays...
Well, I did it. As of last Friday, December 29, 2006 I have driven every mile of state trunkline highway in Michigan, including all unsigned and/or "OLD" ...
MDOT sometimes does things that aren't logical or that I don't agree with, but when they do something good, I also want to make sure to point it out. The...

... Congratulations Chris! ... Well, Chris is not alone, as I have driven the entire trunkline, including the new segments in da UP. However, what you and...
That's great news, Chris. Congrats! My goal of clinching the state highways is a little less remarkable because the business routes don't mean as much to me....
This is a much-welcomed, much-anticipated event among us Michigan road geeks. While I don't often have the opportunity to travel on US- 127, it's definitely a...
When I finally clinched Illinois's Highways almost 10 years ago I stopped and took a little can of orange spray paint and drew an small "X" on the pavement of...
