Business Loop I-69 is a route that took over the Business US 27 route inside of Charlotte. It is a city street for the nearly 5 miles of the route. The route starts just outside of the city of Charlotte at Exit 57 which is known as Cochran Rd. It travels due north for about 2.5 miles where it begins a short .7 miles (1.1 km) mile concurency with M-50. At that intersection begins or ends M-79 with that going west. M-50 continues north and the business loop heads east on Lawrence Ave for a very short time. From that point it veers northeast into Lansing St and then completes its loop at exit 61.
The route was first designated Business US 27 after the 1961 completion of the freeway on the east of the city. At that point I-69 was still in the southern parts of Michigan and was not carried up to the city. By 1970, I-69 was completed to Charlotte and at the time US 27 was cosigned with I-69. For 4 years the business loop in Charlotte was not signed as BL I-69. By 1974 it was corrected and BUS US-27 was removed from the state.
