Direction[edit]

The signs may be east–west,^[1] but the MDOT Physical Reference Finder Application has it mileposted north–south.^[2] MDOT press releases are also worded in a north–south fashion.^[3]^[4] For that reason, the article's route description might appear backwards, but is consistent with official sources. This has the side benefit that the description moves from the connection with the rest of the state highway system to the historical goal point, the ferry docks.
