Interstate 296 ({{nowrap|I-296}}) is a part of the Interstate Highway System in the US state of Michigan. It is a state trunkline highway that runs for {{convert|3.43|mi|km|2}} parallel to the Grand River on the west bank, entirely within the Grand Rapids area. Its termini are Interstate 196 near downtown Grand Rapids and Interstate 96 on the north side of Grand Rapids in Walker. For most of its length, the Interstate runs concurrently with US Highway 131, which continues as a freeway built to Interstate Highway standards north and south of the shorter {{nowrap|I-296}}. The highway was first proposed in the late 1950s and opened in December 1962. The Michigan Department of Transportation has since eliminated all signage for {{nowrap|I-296}} and removed the designation from their official state map, leaving it unsigned, but {{nowrap|I-296}} is still listed on the Interstate Highway System route log maintained by the Federal Highway Administration. {{TFAFULL|Interstate 296}}
