U.S. Bicycle Route 20 (USBR 20) is a U.S. Numbered Bicycle Route that runs between Marine City, Michigan and the Oregon Coast.[1] On May 4, 2011, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials voted to approve the Michigan Department of Transportation's application for designation of the 310-mile-long (500 km) Michigan segment of the route. The route connects with ferries on both sides of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. In Marine City in the east, it meets the Bluewater Ferry which connects to Sombra, Ontario, Canada. In the west, it connects to the Lake Michigan Carferry from Ludington, Michigan, to Manitowoc, Wisconsin.[2]
Outside of Michigan, the route is not yet well-defined, but it is planned to run through Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon.[3]
