M-31 was a state trunkline highway in the Lower Peninsula in the US state of Michigan. It served as a connecting route between Saginaw, The Thumb communities, and Port Huron.

Route description

The route of M-31 can still be driven today. With US 31 being commissioned in 1926, the route was renumbered in several segments. M-31 started at the 1920s version of M-21 and followed modern M-25 northward to Harbor Beach. There M-31 would follow today's M-142 westward through Bad Axe and Pigeon back to the modern M-25. Once back on the modern M-25, M-31 passed through Sebewaing southwesterly to the modern M-24 and south to Unionville. Once M-31 met up with the modern M-138 it turned westerly through Akron and Fairgrove to Bradleyville Road. Bradleyville Road connected through Gilford to the current M-81. M-31 followed M-81 west to Saginaw, and the terminus at what was then M-10.

History

M-31 was one of the original trunklines shown on the July 1, 1919 map of the Trunkline System. Originally, M-31 ran from Saginaw to Harbor Beach and was extended southward to Port Huron in 1923. With the coming of the U.S. Highway System in 1926, M-31 was deleted in favor of alternate route numbers, presumably to stem possible confusion with the future US 31 that would run on the western side of the state.
