M-123 (Michigan Highway)
M-123 is a state trunkline highway in the eastern Upper Peninsula of the US state of Michigan. It is one of only a few highways in Michigan that curve around and form a U-shape. In fact, M-123 has three intersections with only two state trunklines; it meets M-28 twice as a result of its U-shaped routing.

All of M-123 north of M-28 is a Scenic Heritage Route within the Michigan Heritage Route system. The highway was first designated before 1936 along a section of its current routing.

Unlike the State Trunkline Highway System, these highways have alphanumeric designations with letters that correspond to one of eight lettered zones in the state.
