Information About

Fenton-clio Expressway




The Fenton-Clio Expressway was designated as US-23 in 1958, soon after the freeway opened. When first opened, the Fenton-Clio Expressway did not connect with other freeways, although such freeway connections were soon added. In 1960, the portion of the Fenton-Clio Expressway from just southwest of Flint north to Birch Run was also designated as I-75 . At that time, I-75 in Michigan existed in separate discrete segments connected by non-Interstate highways and surface roads. Birch Run was the northern terminus of one such segment. By 1961, at the southern terminus, the US-23 freeway was extended to Hartland . On the northern end, the US-23/I-75 freeway had been extended to Kawkawlin .

The Fenton-Clio Expressway was built in two phases, both completed within months of each other:

Phase 1:
From the Livingston/Genesee county border in Fenton to Miller Rd. southwest of Flint.

Phase 2:
Miller Rd. to Birch Run

The Fenton-Clio Expressway passes by Fenton , Flint , Mt. Morris and Clio
