M-57 (Michigan highway)
M-57 is an east–west state trunkline highway in the US state of Michigan. The highway connects US Highway 131 (US 131) near Rockford on the west end to M-15 near Otisville in the Lower Peninsula. In between, the mostly rural highway passes through farmland and connects several highways and smaller towns together. Three of these highways are freeways: US 131, US 127 and Interstate 75 (I-75). Along the way, between 3,700 and 22,300 vehicles use the highway daily.
The current highway that bears the M-57 moniker is the second to do so. The first is now M-75 in the Northern Lower Peninsula. This second highway was designated in the 1930s along a different, but parallel, routing. The first major changes shifted that routing southward to the current corridor in stages. Through additional extensions and truncations, the modern routing was formed by the 1970s.
==Route description==
M-57 is a rural, two-lane highway crossing the south central Lower Peninsula. The western terminus is at US 131, north of Grand Rapids near Rockford in northern Kent County.〔 East of the terminus is Rosie's Diner, which is the original shooting location for the Bounty Paper Towel commercials of the 1970s featuring Rosie the Waitress. The diner was moved from Little Ferry, New Jersey to its current location in 1990. From Rockford, M-57 runs east through rural farmland on 14 Mile Road into southern Montcalm County. East of the county line, the highway follows Carson City Road into the outskirts of Greenville. M-57 runs through a retail corridor before becoming Washington Street in town where it meets M-91. Washington Street crosses the Flat River and exits Greenville. Continuing eastward, the trunkline passes through more farmland on Carson City Road. It meets M-66 at a rural four-way intersection before passing into Carson City near the Gratiot county line. M-57 follows Cleveland Road, passing to the south of the communities of Middleton and Perrinton. Near Pompeii, M-57 meets US 127 at a folded diamond interchange along the expressway portion of the latter highway.〔〔
Cleveland Road continues east running near Ashley and into Saginaw County. In between Ashley and the county line,〔〔 the highway crosses a branch of the Great Lakes Central Railroad. M-57 follows Brady Road and crosses M-52 just west of Chesaning.〔〔 Further east, the trunkline crosses another line of the Great Lakes Central.〔 The highway follows Broad Street into town and over the Shiawassee River. On the east banks, M-57 runs along Main Street south along the river to a junction with Peet Road where it then turns east along the latter road out of town. The highway passes through more farm fields and through Layton Corners on the way to a junction with M-13 on the Saginaw–Genesee county line. At Montrose, M-57 crosses the Flint River,〔〔 and a line of the Huron and Eastern Railway.〔 Now running along Vienna Road, the trunkline meets I-75/US 23 west of Clio. As it enters town,〔〔 it crosses a line of the Saginaw Bay Southern Railway.〔 This segment of the highway passes through the northernmost suburbs of Flint,〔 and this section is where the heaviest traffic levels along the whole highway are found. As part of its maintenance duties, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) tracks these traffic levels using a metric known as average annual daily traffic (AADT). This figure is a calculation of the average traffic volume for a segment of roadway on any average day of the year. In 2009, MDOT determined that an average of 22,280 vehicles used the section of M-57 through Clio daily. East of this area, the highway once again passes through rural agricultural lands on the way to its eastern terminus at M-15, one mile (1.6 km) north of Otisville. This terminal section of the trunkline had the lowest traffic levels in 2009 at 3,737 vehicles AADT.〔 No section of M-57 has been listed on the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the country's economy, defense, and mobility.
