ISHPEMING — The Michigan Department of Transportation is investing about $6.2 million to rebuild more than three miles of M-35 in Marquette County between County Road 480 and U.S. 41, including converting the M-35/County Road 492 intersection to a modern roundabout.

Work will include crushing and shaping the existing pavement, new asphalt pavement, widening existing paved shoulders, realigning the M-35/Marquette County Road 492 intersection, grading and tree clearing at various locations for safety improvements.

Tree clearing is expected to start on Monday, April 27, with the road work to begin on Monday, May 4. Work is expect to continue until mid-October. Motorists should expect single-lane closures with traffic regulators.

This work will extend the lifespan of the roadway and increase safety for motorists. Roundabouts significantly decrease the overall number of crashes at intersections and reduce serious injury crashes. Learn more at www.Michigan.gov/Roundabout.
