M-132 was the designation of a former state trunkline route in the Lower Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan near Ann Arbor.

[edit] Route description

Beginning at Main Street in downtown Dexter, M-132 (known as Ann Arbor Road) traveled southeast through town. Upon reaching the limits, the road becomes known as Dexter-Ann Arbor Road. It traveled southeast across Washtenaw County through fields before entering Ann Arbor where it terminated at US 12, presently known as Huron Street.[4][5]

[edit] History

M-132 had existed in its configuration from 1929 until it was removed from the state trunkline system in 1960, a few years after the US 12/I-94 expressway is completed. After removal from the system, the route is simply known as Dexter-Ann Arbor Road and is two-lanes wide throughout.[4]
