History
editDesignated in 1932, SR 295 was originally routed from its current eastern junction with SR 2 to its current northern terminus at the Michigan State Line in Berkey.[3][4] One year later, the highway would be extended southward to SR 64 on the outskirts of Whitehouse.[5] By 1935, SR 295 was extended southward one more time, this time to a southern terminus at US 24.[6][7] The southern terminus of SR 295 was at a T-intersection with US 24 approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) southwest of Waterville until August 2012 when US 24 was rerouted. SR 295 was extended to run along the former US 24's alignment until Grand Rapids, where SR 295 then replaced the former SR 578 and terminates at SR-65.[citation needed]
