M-132 was the designation of a former state trunkline highway in the Lower Peninsula of the US state of Michigan near Ann Arbor. The highway, approved in 1928, connected Ann Arbor and Dexter to the northwest along present-day Dexter–Ann Arbor Road. It would have connected to a proposed "super highway" running across the state and bypassing city centers. The roadway first appeared on maps in 1930 and was turned back to local control in 1959.

Route description

Starting at the western village limits of Dexter at a railroad crossing, M-132 ran east-southeasterly along Main Street and across Mill Creek in the village. The highway passed through the downtown and turned more southeasterly. At the intersection with Baker Road, the street name changed to Ann Arbor Street, and then upon reaching the eastern village limits, the highway became Dexter–Ann Arbor Road. It ran southeast across rural Washtenaw County through undeveloped areas before entering the southwest side of the city of Ann Arbor where it followed Dexter Avenue and terminated at US Highway 12 (US 12, Huron Street/Jackson Avenue).

History

M-132 was commissioned in October 1928 between Dexter and Ann Arbor as part of a group of new state highways recommended by the Michigan State Highway Department (MSHD) Advisory Board to the State Administrative Board. The highway was being surfaced the following year, and at the time it was added to state maps, it was marked as fully paved. Later in 1930, cities and counties along the route of a proposed "super-highway" to connect Chicago with Detroit approved a routing in consultation with the state highway commissioner; this upgraded US 12 would have connected to M-132 in Dexter and bypassed Ann Arbor to the north to avoid busy city centers.

Two parcels of property in the village of Dexter were deeded to the MSHD in 1933 by Henry Ford adjacent to the highway's right-of-way. In 1957, M-132 was included as part of one of the approved routes for Michigan State Spartans football fans looking to travel from Lansing to Ann Arbor to watch the game between the University of Michigan and Michigan State.

M-132 remained in the same basic configuration until it was removed from the state trunkline system in December 1959, after the freeway carrying Interstate 94 and US 12 was completed near Ann Arbor. The year before it was decommissioned, the state took bids to resurface the roadway. After removal from the state highway system, much of the former highway is now simply known as Dexter–Ann Arbor Road; the modern roadway is two lanes throughout with a center turn lane within the village of Dexter.

Notes

  1. The five-member advisory board was created in 1919 to make recommendations to the state highway commissioner on highway planning and programs, including the drafting of an annual 500-mile (800 km) trunkline program.
  2. This project had been proposed since 1928 by local chambers of commerce along the route of US 12 to alleviate what was called at the time "the most heavily congested road in the state". Later in the mid-1930s, this route was described as continuing farther northeast to connection to Port Huron to provide a connect to the Canadian border.
