NEGAUNEE -- Motorists should expect lane closures on U.S. 41/M-28 near the M-35 intersection east of Negaunee beginning today.
Contractors for the Michigan Department of Transportation will be working on M-35, requiring these traffic restrictions:
-- Eastbound U.S. 41 will have one lane closed near the M-35 intersection.
-- The westbound U.S. 41 direct turn onto southbound M-35 will be closed and traffic will be routed to the next crossover to the west to turn south onto M-35.
One alternating lane of traffic will be open on M-35 under flag control. These lane restrictions are expected to be in place until late October.
This work is part of the $6.2-million investment to rebuild more than 3 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 includes 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.
