history

The US 10 originally ran through Montana , the Idaho Panhandle and Washington , with the western terminus in Seattle . The completion of I-90 and I-94 made US 10 along this route obsolete, although some parts of the old US 10 road in cities such as Bismarck, North Dakota , Missoula (Montana) and Spokane (Washington) still physically exist (without the designation as US 10).

At the eastern end, US 10 originally ran from Midland, Michigan, further south to Saginaw (Michigan) on the route now designated as M-47 . From there, they went along with US Highway 23 until shortly before Flint (Michigan) , from where they as Dixie Highway southeast of Pontiac (Michigan) went to where the name Woodward Avenue to get, now called M-1 designated is. On this route it ran in a straight line to downtown Detroit , where it met US 16 , US 25 and US 12 . There the route shifted two blocks northeast to end at the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel to Canada .

In the 1970s, Woodward Avenue lost its designation as US 10, which was instead used for the routing of the John C. Lodge Freeway (previously known as "Business Lane I-696 ") and part of Telegraph Road . It wasn't until 1987 that US 10 was shortened to end at Bay City, Michigan . On this occasion the Lodge Freeway received the designation M-10 .

The original 1925 draft of the US Highway System was that US 10 would run from Detroit via Chicago and then northwest to Wisconsin on the route that has become US 12 .
