​​Interstate 496

My photo of a cutout shield for Interstate 496 comes from Trowbridge Road in East Lansing.  The interchange where Interstate 496 joins US Route 127 south is a complex interchange that also provides access to and from surface roads.  One of those surface roads is Trowbridge Road, which stems east from the interchange. Those meeting the end of Trowbridge Road, heading westerly, are fed into an interchange with full access to Interstate 496 west, US Route 127 north, and US Route 127 south. In recent years, the adoption of unisigns for Michigan's Interstate junctions has made cutout shields difficult to find across the state.  Usually, I'm relegated to finding these cutout shields on "To" guide markers, distant from the Interstate itself.  The cutout shield in this photo is right at Interstate 496, though, and it welcomes the westbound surface traffic into the interchange. This photo was taken in August 2020, taking a slightly indirect route home from Traverse City.

Michigan Interstate guides will come with complete exit lists and a photo for every exit, at some point in the future when I've driven the full lengths of all of them.  This page showing the cutout shield will stay here for now, until that happens​.
