ROAD CLOSURE M-94 DETOUR DETAILS
Due to the flooding that occurred in October of 2016, M-94 has been closed to traffic between US-41 and County Road 545 South.
For passenger vehicles, westbound through-traffic should use the signed detour route from Town Hall Road to CR 545 North, then south to M-94. The route is reversed for eastbound traffic.
Commercial truck traffic on US-41 headed toward the K.I. Sawyer area needs to follow CR 480 to M-553. Trucks on US-2 headed toward the K.I. Sawyer area need to follow M-35 to M-553.
Several routes in the area of the M-94 washout have weight limits imposed on them and are being enforced. Please click here to see the restricted routes.
Permit forms are available through the Marquette County Road Commission Engineering Office, the MCRC K.I. Saywer Garage, and West Branch Townhsip, for truck traffic over 10 tons that need to make deliveries within the restricted route. For questions regarding these weight limits, please contact the MCRC Engineering Department.
PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release August 25, 2016 Contact: Jim Iwanicki, Engineer-Manager (906) 486-4491 Ext. 200 Press Conference: 4pm, Tuesday August 30, 2016 Location: Marquette County Road Commission Office 1610 N. Second Street, Ishpeming, MI 49849 Road Commission Continues to Challenge EPA’s Denial of CR 595 Permit by Partnering with the Pacific Legal Foundation and Stand U.P. The Marquette County Road Commission will hold a joint press conference with the Pacific Legal Foundation and Stand U.P. on Tuesday, August 30, 2016 at 4 pm EST at the Road Commission’s Office in Ishpeming. The purpose of the press conference is to discuss the team’s continued efforts to obtain judicial review of the USEPA’s arbitrary and pre-determined decision to block construction of CR 595. The Road Commission is requesting that the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan set aside USEPA’s arbitrary denial of the Road Commission’s permit application and remand the application back to the Michigan DEQ. The Road Commission has engaged the Pacific Legal Foundation as co-counsel if the case proceeds to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals for purposes of handling the appeal at that level and at the Supreme Court, if necessary.
