M-199 is a short highway in the US state of Michigan. The western terminus of the 3.98 mile-long road is in Sheridan Township at exit 119 off I-94. The eastern terminus is a junction with BL I-94 in the city of Albion. The entire road is within Calhoun County. Although M-199 is nominally a "child" route of M-99, which also passes through Albion, the two routes do not officially connect. M-99 enters Albion from the south on Superior St. and turns to the east at the intersection with Michigan Ave. in downtown, while M-199 ends a few blocks northwest of that point.

Route description

Most of the route outside of Albion is a two-lane blacktop. The road expands to four lanes inside the city. For most of its length, starting from its eastern terminus at the junction with Eaton Road, M-199 follows the old route of Michigan Avenue (although it is now named "Austin Avenue" within the Albion city limits). It continues north on 25½ Mile Road and 26 Mile Road to I-94. The route received the M-199 designation in 1998.

History

From July 12, 1933 to August 13, 1939, an earlier designation of M-199 was for a short spur route from US 41 into Daggett in Menominee County. The designation was revived on October 31, 1998 for the current routing.

Major intersections

The entire highway is in Calhoun County.
