(I-96) is an intrastate Interstate Highway that is entirely within the
US state of Michigan. Its western terminus is at an interchange with
US-31 and US-31 BR, on the western boundary of Norton Shores southeast
of Muskegon. Its eastern terminus is at I-75 near the Ambassador Bridge
in Detroit. From Detroit to Grand Rapids, it parallels Grand River
Avenue, never straying more than a few miles from the deleted US-16. The
Wayne County portion of I-96 was originally named the Jeffries Freeway
from its eastern terminus to the junction with I-275 and M-14 and was
signed as such until Michigan removed proper names from Interstate guide
signs in the 1980s. Though many area residents still refer to the
freeway as "The Jeffries," the portion within the city of Detroit was
renamed by the state legislature as the Rosa Parks Memorial Highway in
December, 2005.
