 M @-@ 311 was created on October 1 , 1998 as a part of Governor John Engler 's Rationalization process . The original routing started at BL I @-@ 94 / Michigan Avenue and Raymond Avenue . It followed Raymond Avenue to Emmet Street before turning east to Cooper Avenue . From Cooper Avenue , M @-@ 311 turned east again on N Drive North until meeting 11 Mile Road . There it followed 11 Mile Road south to M @-@ 60 in Burlington . Since the original transfer , all of M @-@ 311 north of I @-@ 94 was returned to Calhoun County control . This eliminated the section that made a " U @-@ turn " . Since December 2009 , the highway has been signed in the field .
