BUS US 23 was a business spur route running in Fenton. It was first designated in 1958 as a business loop route of US 23. The loop was rerouted in 1961 with the completion of the US 23 freeway in Genesee and Livingston counties.
The southern portion of the loop was separated in 1975 with the creation of a pedestrian mall and the turnback of two blocks of Leroy St. in downtown Fenton. The southern portion of the loop was left as a state trunkline, but unsigned. Leroy St. was reopened to auto traffic in 2004, but it was not turned over to the Michigan Department of Transportation to reconnect the existing spur to the unsigned southern portion. The entire trunkline, both signed and unsigned was turned back to local control on 2006-12-07.
