M-108, also known as Nicolet St. (or "Nicolet Ave." or "Nicolet Rd.") in its entirety, is a state trunkline in the U.S. state of Michigan. Some maps also label it as the Mackinaw Highway. The road is on the boundary between Cheboygan County and Emmet County.

[edit] Route description

The 1.16 mile-long route connecting two interchanges off I-75 on the south side of Mackinaw City. The southern terminus is at a partial interchange with I-75 (exit 337) just south of Mackinaw City, about two miles north of the northern terminus of US 31. The northern terminus is where the northbound off-ramp of exit 338 from I-75 intersects Nicolet. The northbound on-ramp and southbound off-ramp also form the northern terminus of US 23.

[edit] History

From 1928-1952, M-108 formed a relatively rare "three-legged route" connecting the State Highway Ferry Docks with the Fort Michilimackinac State Historic Park and US 31. At one point while traveling westbound on M-108, motorists could turn right onto northbound M-108 or left onto southbound M-108.[2]
