===Transportation=== ====Major highways==== Cadillac is situated as the confluence of three highways: US 131, M-55 and M-115. Prior to 2001, the northern end of the freeway portion of US 131 was located at the southern entrance to Cadillac. With the construction of a [[Bypass (road)|bypass]], the US 131 freeway was extended around the east side of the city. The former route of the highway through downtown Cadillac was redesignated as BUS US 131. In the city, BUS US 131 is named Mitchell Street, after George Mitchell, but may be referred to as [[main street]]. *{{jct|country=USA|US|131}} bypasses the city to the east. The freeway continues southerly toward [[Big Rapids, Michigan|Big Rapids]] and [[Grand Rapids, Michigan|Grand Rapids]] and northerly toward [[Manton, Michigan|Manton]] before transitioning to a two-lane highway for the remainder of the distance to [[Petoskey, Michigan|Petoskey]]. *{{jct|state=MI|US-Bus|131|dab1=Cadillac}}, a loop route through downtown, running largely along the former route of US 131 through the city. *{{jct|state=MI|M|55}} is a major two-lane east–west route across the state, connecting with [[Manistee, Michigan|Manistee]] on the west and [[Lake City, Michigan|Lake City]], [[Houghton Lake, Michigan|Houghton Lake]], [[West Branch, Michigan|West Branch]], and [[Tawas City, Michigan|Tawas City]] on the east. *{{jct|state=MI|M|115}}, another major two-lane route, runs diagonally from [[Clare, Michigan|Clare]] to the southeast to [[Frankfort, Michigan|Frankfort]] to the northwest. ====Rail==== The city is serviced by rail via the [[Great Lakes Central Railroad]].
