U.S. Route 10
Encyclopedia
U.S. Route 10 is an east–west United States highway formed in 1926. Though it never became the cross-country highway
suggested by the "0" as the last digit of its route number, U.S. Highway 10 was one of the original long-haul highways, running from Detroit, Michigan
, to Seattle, Washington
, but then losing much of its length when new Interstate Highways were built on top of its right-of-way. In 2010, its length is 565 miles (909.3 km).
U.S. Highway 10 is broken into two segments by Lake Michigan
. Travel between the two segments is possibly on a seasonal basis via the ferry
SS Badger between Ludington, Michigan
, and Manitowoc, Wisconsin
. The ferry route and link are not part of the U.S. Highway system.
The eastern terminus of U.S. Highway 10 is in Bay City, Michigan
, at its interchange with Interstate 75
(near Highway 10's milepost 139 and Interstate 75's milepost 162). The western terminus of U.S. Highway 10 is in the town of West Fargo, North Dakota
, at its interchange with Interstate 94

from Ludington
to Scottville
before US-31 heads north. The road then heads east through Baldwin
and Reed City
before it becomes a freeway west of U.S. 127
near the junction with highway M-115. U.S. 127 and U.S. 10 overlap for a short distance near Clare
. U.S. 10 bypasses Midland

Between 1926 and 1934, there was a pair of alternate routes between St. Cloud, Minnesota
and Moorhead, Minnesota
. U.S. Route 10N, the northern route, connected St. Cloud
, Little Falls
, Motley
, and Detroit Lakes
before reaching Moorhead
. U.S. Route 10S ran from St. Cloud
through Alexandria
and Fergus Falls
before rejoining U.S. Route 10N at Moorhead

, the Idaho
Panhandle
, and Washington, terminating in Seattle
. The completion of I-90
and I-94
replaced US 10 along this route, although some sections of the old US 10 road still exist in such cities as Bismarck
, Missoula
, Spokane
, and between Cle Elum
and Ellensburg
as State Route 10. The last section of Interstate 90 to be completed was between Coeur d'Alene
and Wallace
in the early 1990s. Much of this route was co-numbered as both I-90 and US 10 until the final completion of I-90 through Idaho. Some decommissioned sections of US 10 are designated Interstate 90 Business
or Interstate 94 Business routes.
At the eastern end, US 10 originally went south from Midland, Michigan
to Saginaw, Michigan
on what is now highway M-47
. It then joined up with US 23 in Saginaw, and continued south until it split from US 23 north of Flint, Michigan
. It then continued south-east as the Dixie Highway
to Pontiac, Michigan
, where it became Woodward Avenue, now designated as M-1
. From there, US 10 continued on an almost straight line to downtown Detroit, where it intersected with US 16
, US 25
, and US 12
. It then took a two-block jog, and ended up at the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel to Canada
.
In the 1970s, US-10 was rerouted off Woodward Avenue in the Detroit area and onto the John C. Lodge Freeway (formerly Business Spur 696) and Telegraph Road
. US-10 was truncated to Bay City, Michigan in 1987 at which point the Lodge Freeway was changed to M-10
.
In 1925, US-10 was originally proposed to run from Detroit through Chicago
, and northwesterly into Wisconsin on what later became US-12.
