U.S. Highway 10

United States Highway 10 is an east-west United States highway. Though it was never the cross-country route suggested by the "0" in its route number, US 10 was once one of the original long-haul highways, from Detroit, Michigan to Seattle, Washington, before losing much of its length to the Interstate highways. US 10 and US 9 are the only US Highways whose routes include a ferry ride (between Ludington, Michigan and Manitowoc, Wisconsin).

Termini
As of 2004, the highway's eastern terminus is in Bay City, Michigan at an intersection with Interstate 75. Its western terminus is in West Fargo, North Dakota at an intersection with Interstate 94.
Originally, US 10 also passed through Montana, the Idaho Panhandle, and Washington state, terminating in Seattle. The completion of Interstate 90 replaced US 10 along this route, although some sections of the old US 10 road still exist in such cities as Missoula, Montana and Spokane, Washington. The last section of Interstate 90 (and, indeed, the last section of the original Interstate Highway System as a whole) to be completed was between Wallace, Idaho and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho in the early 1990s. Much of this route was co-numbered as both Interstate 90 and US 10 until the final completion of Interstate 90 through Idaho.
Alternate routes
US 10 has had alternate routes designated in the past, but none are active as of 2004.
