In 1962, with the completion of the US 23 freeway in the area, BUS US 23 was designated over the former routing in Ann Arbor. It utilized a portion of the 1958 freeway from the Huron River north to the US 23 freeway. In 1965, M-14 was relocated and the concurrency with BUS US 23 was shortened.

BUS US 23 |
|
|---|---|
| Location: | Fenton, Michigan |
BUS US 23 in Fenton was a [9] business loop serving the city of Fenton, Michigan. It was first designated on September 16, 1958 as a business loop route of US 23[9]. The original routing followed Owen Road and Shiawassee Street into downtown Fenton, before following LeRoy Street (a former routing of US-23) for about four blocks, then following Silver Lake Road back to the US-23 freeway. The loop was rerouted in 1961 with the completion of the US 23 freeway in Genesee and Livingston counties.[10] The southern portion of the loop was separated in 1975 with the creation of a pedestrian mall and the turnback of two blocks of Leroy St. in downtown Fenton. The southern portion of the loop was left as a state trunkline, but unsigned. From that point until around 2004, only the Silver Lake Road portion was signed as Business US-23; guide signage from the US-23 freeway never indicated the presence of the business route, however.[10] The Owen Road/Shiawassee Street portion was eventually signed in 2004, approximately two years before the route was decommissioned.[10] Leroy St. was reopened to auto traffic in 2004, but it was not turned over to the Michigan Department of Transportation to reconnect the existing spur to the unsigned southern portion. The entire trunkline, both signed and unsigned was turned back to local control on December 7, 2006[9].

ALT US 23 |
|
|---|---|
| Location: | Standish, Michigan |
Alternate US 23, or ALT US 23, was a 24.8 mile (39.9 km)[15] redesignation of a stretch of US 23 in Michigan from Monitor Township near Kawkawlin to about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Standish. It was established on 10 6, 1967[16] In 1967, a stretch of what would later become part of the I-75 freeway was opened between the above 2 mentioned towns, and US 23 was designated on the new road. After the former US 23 was given the ALT US 23 designation, AASHTO, although it has no enforcement authority, did not approve of having two types of US 23's running parallel so close with each other, and after about a year, ALT US 23 became an extension of M-13.[17] The freeway portion from I-75 to Kawkawlin became Connector M-13.
