Route description

History
editThe SR 64 designation was established in 1923. At its inception, SR 64 followed the majority of its present routing, traveling from downtown Bowling Green to its present northern terminus at the Michigan state line just outside Metamora.[4][5]
The only significant change to take place to the routing of SR 64 was an extension at the southern end that happened in 1969. Coinciding with the completions of both I-75 on the east side of Bowling Green, and the U.S. Route 6 (US 6) bypass of the city to the south, SR 64 was extended east from the present SR 25 (former US 25) intersection in downtown Bowling Green along the former routing of US 6 on Main Street to its present southern terminus at the junction of I-75 and SR 105.[7][8]
