Michigan Interstate 96 highway marker sign

Description

Though most of the highways carrying the name “Interstate” do cross state lines, there is no requirement that any individual highway do so; the name is intended to denote the coast-to-coast nature of the system as a whole. One such highway found only in one state is Michigan’s Interstate 96. It crosses the width of the Lower Peninsula, from just outside Muskegon, all the way to Detroit. Built to replace the old US 16, Interstate 96 serves most of the same cities, including Lansing and Grand Rapids.

Own a true icon of Great Lakes road history with our Michigan Interstate 96 route sign, recreated to the exact 1957 standards from the dawn of the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System. This classic design, replaced in 1971 by the modern Interstate shield (often missing the state name), has become increasingly rare. That’s what makes our Michigan Interstate 96 sign such a standout piece for collectors, historians, and automotive enthusiasts alike. It even features the distinctive custom lettering Michigan used for decades instead of the standard federal highway fonts, delivering unmatched fidelity to the original signs.

Each Michigan Interstate 96 sign is flat printed on 14-gauge steel, crafted with uncompromising quality right here in the USA. The high-gloss finish makes it ideal for display indoors or outdoors, allowing the details to shine without the distracting glare of modern retroreflective sheeting. Choose the size that best suits your space:

• 12 in. × 12 in.
• 18 in. × 18 in. (the smallest size original signs were made in, used only in the early days of the Interstate System)
• 24 in. × 24 in. (the smaller of the two sizes used in the modern day)
• 36 in. × 36 in. (a size used for original markers in high-speed contexts and other places where visibility is key)
