About Interstate 296 in brief
Interstate 296 is a state trunkline highway that runs for 3. 43 miles within the Grand Rapids area. Its termini are I-196 near downtown Grand Rapids and I-96 on the north side of Grand Rapids in Walker. The highway was first proposed in the late 1950s and opened in December 1962. The Michigan Department of Transportation has since eliminated all signage for I-296 and removed the designation from their official state map. The designation is therefore unsigned, but still listed on the Interstate Highway System route log maintained by the Federal Highway Administration. For most of its length, the Interstate runs concurrently with U.
S. Highway 131, which continues as a freeway built to Interstate Highway standards north and south of the shorter I- 296. The development of a freeway along the modern-day I-295US 131 corridor was proposed inThe 1955 General Location of National System of Interstate Highways contained an inset of the proposed freeways in and around theGrand Rapids area including a north–south freeway near the downtown area. Designated as part of the Interstate highway system in 1957, the highway’s construction was funded by the federal government.
