M-28 is a long east-west state trunkline that almost completely traverses the Upper Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan from Wakefield to near Sault Ste. Marie in Dafter Township. Along with US 2, M-28 forms one-half of a pair of primary highways linking the Upper Peninsula from end to end, providing a major access route for traffic from Canada travelling along the Lake Superior southern shore. M-28 is the longest state trunkline in Michigan numbered with the "M-" prefix at 290.43 miles (467.40 km). The entire highway is listed on the National Highway System. Three sections of M-28 are part of the Lake Superior Circle Tour. As well, M-28 carries two memorial highway designations along the routing.
M-28 passes through forested woodlands, bog swamps and urbanized areas along its routing. M-28 also runs along the Lake Superior shoreline. Sections of roadway cross the Ottawa National Forest and both units of the Hiawatha National Forest. Some of the other landmarks accessible from M-28 include the Seney Stretch and Seney National Wildlife Refuge as well as Lakenenland in eastern Marquette County.
M-28 is an original trunkline designation dating back to the 1919 formation of the Trunkline System. The original highway was much shorter than the current version. M-28 was expanded eastward to the Sault Ste. Marie area in the late 1920s. The western end has been expanded twice to different locations on the Wisconsin border. Other changes along the routing have led to the creation of three different business loops at different times, with one still extant. Future changes discussed in Marquette County could see M-28 rerouted over County Road 480 (CR 480). Such a plan has been proposed by Marquette County but not accepted by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT).
Route description
M-28 provides a major routing for Canadian traffic along the south shore of Lake Superior. M-28 forms the northern half of a pair of primary highways linking the Upper Peninsula from end to end with US 2 as the southern partner.[3] All of M-28 is two-lane highway, undivided except for segments coinciding with US 41 near Marquette. The "Marquette Bypass" portion of M-28 is a four-lane expressway. Other segments of US 41/M-28 are four lanes in Marquette County.[4] All of M-28 is part of the National Highway System.[5] There are three sections of M-28's routing that are part of the Lake Superior Circle Tour.[4]

Western terminus to Shingleton
M-28 begins on the west end at a signalized intersection with US 2 in Wakefield. Running north, M-28 passes Sunday Lake heading out of town. In southwestern Ontonagon County, the highway skirts the northern shore of Lake Gogebic, running concurrently with M-64. The first of the three sections of M-28 designated as a part of the Lake Superior Circle Tour is from the western terminus to the eastern junction with M-64 in Bergland. The Circle Tour turns north along M-64, leaving M-28. M-28 runs through heavily forested areas of southern Houghton and Baraga counties. At the eastern junction with US 41 near Covington, M-28 picks up the Circle Tour designation again.[4] Near Covington, M-28 exits the Ottawa National Forest.[6]
In Baraga and Marquette counties, M-28 passes through hilly terrain before taking on a more urban character in the population centers of Ishpeming, Negaunee and Marquette.[3] At the Ishpeming–Negaunee city line, M-28 changes memorial highway designations. From the western terminus to this point, M-28 is designated the "Veterans Memorial Highway". The designation changes to the "D. J. Jacobetti Memorial Highway" in honor of the longest serving member of the Michigan Legislature.[7][8] The Jacobetti Highway designation ends at the eastern M-123 junction in Chippewa County.[7]

Between Marquette and Munising, M-28 gives a scenic view of Lake Superior shoreline.[9] The Lakenenland Sculpture is located in Chocolay Township in eastern Marquette County. This roadside attraction is owned by Tom Lakenen and features fanciful works of art made of scrap iron.[10] Near the community of Au Train M-28 crosses into the western unit of the Hiawatha National Forest.[6] West of Munising is a ferry dock offering transport to the Grand Island National Recreation Area, and at Munising, one has easy access to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. M-28 also features variable message signs to warn motorists of any winter weather-related traffic closures along the lakeshore routing. Installed at the US 41 and M-94 junctions, the signs will be used to inform motorists of the exact sections of roadway impacted by the closure. Per MDOT policy, the only vehicles allowed on the road during a closure are snowplows.[11] M-28 crosses out of the western unit of the Hiawatha National Forest at the Alger County-Schoolcraft County line along the Seney Stretch.[6]
Seney Stretch
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/Seney_Stretch1.jpg/300px-Seney_Stretch1.jpg)
The Seney Stretch refers to a stretch of road between Seney and Shingleton.[12] Constructed as a part of M-25 when that designation was used along today's M-28 east of US 41, the Seney Stretch is 25 miles (40 km)[13] of straight centerline across the Great Manistique Swamp. M-25 was constructed parallel to the line of the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway (later the Soo Line Railroad) over the swamp. The largest changes made to the Stretch since the original construction were the addition of passing relief lanes and a full-scale, year-round rest area in 1999.[14] The highway is often cited as the "state's most boring route" according to the MEDC and Hunt's Guide.[15][16] The straightness and flatness of the route over a great distance are given as reasons the Seney Stretch has earned the reputation as such a boring route.[16]
Seney National Wildlife Refuge
The Seney National Wildlife Refuge is a managed wetland in Schoolcraft County in Michigan. Established in 1935,[17] it has an area of 95,212 acres (385 km2).[18] It is bordered by M-28 and M-77. The nearest town of any size is Seney. The refuge contains the Strangmoor Bog National Natural Landmark within its boundaries. The northern border of the Seney National Wildlife Refuge is the Seney Stretch.[19]
Seney to eastern terminus
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/M-28_McMillan.jpg/300px-M-28_McMillan.jpg)
Past Seney, M-28 once again enters woodlands on the eastern end of the Upper Peninsula. In Luce County, M-28 passes through the community of McMillan en route to Newberry. The Circle Tour departs M-28 to follow M-123 at Newberry, looping north to the Tahquamenon Falls State Park. The park contains the Tahquamenon Falls and Paradise. East of town, M-28 passes Luce County Airport off Luce CR 399. From there, M-28 crosses the east and west branches of the Sage River and passes south of Soo Junction before the Chippewa County line.[4]
In Chippewa County, M-28 begins trending slightly east-northeast. South of Hulbert is Hulbert Lake. North of Hulbert Lake, M-28 enters the eastern unit of the Hiawatha National Forest.[6] At the eastern junction of M-28 and M-123 near Eckerman and Strongs, the Circle Tour returns to M-28 until the interchange with I-75. M-28 leaves the eastern unit of the Hiawatha National Forest between the communities of Raco and Brimley.[6] M-221 leads north from the main highway on an old routing of M-28 to connect to the community of Brimley and the Bay Mills Indian Community. Brimley State Park is just east of Brimley on the old 6 Mile Road alignment of M-28.[20] I-75 has an interchange with M-28 at exit 386, and the Lake Superior Circle Tour departs M-28 to follow I-75. This interchange is just west of H-63/Mackinac Trail, a former piece of US 2. M-28 continues 3 miles (5 km) farther to its eastern terminus with M-129.[4]
Historic bridges
MDOT has highlighted five historic bridges along the route of M-28 on the MDOT website. In Interior Township, Ontonagon County. M-28 crosses the Ontonagon River over a bridge built in 1929. Designed by the State Highway Department and built by the firm of Meads and Anderson, the Ontonagon River Bridge is one of only three steel arch bridges in Michigan. The main span arch is 150 feet (46 m) in length.[21] A former routing of M-28 in Covington Township crosses the Rock River. Although this section was bypassed by a new alignment of M-28 in 1924, the bridge remains complete ""with corbeled bulkheads and six panels recessed in the concrete spandrel walls."[22]
Today drivers can not use the Peshekee River Bridge south of US 41/M-28 in western Marquette County's Michigamme Township. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as "Trunk Line Bridge No. 1" for its engineering and architectural significance.[23] MDOT has listed it as "one of Michigan's most important vehicular bridges."[24] It was the first bridge designed by the Michigan State Highway Department, forerunner to MDOT in 1914. It was bypassed by a new bridge built over the Peshekee River on US 41/M-28 in 1995 and subsequently abandoned as a roadway.[25]
The next historic bridge listed by MDOT along M-28 is over the Sand River in Onota Township in Alger County. While not visible to motorists, the bridge constructed in 1939 is the longest rural rigid-frame span in Michigan.[26] Most bridges of this type were built in urban locations. Soil conditions in the state limit locations for this style of bridge. The bridge over the East Branch of the Tahquamenon River in Chippewa County was built in 1926 as a "formative exercise in what would evolve into a state standard design."[27] The 55-foot (17 m) bridge was built with nine lines of I-beams encased in concrete. Only one other bridge in Michigan was built with such concrete encasement.[27]
History
Formed on 1919-07-01, M-28 began in Wakefield at a junction with then M-12 and ran roughly along the current alignment to end at M-15 6.5 miles (10.5 km) east of Covington.[2] These two termini roughly correspond to the modern US 2 and western US 41 junctions respectively. M-28 was extended in 1928 along US 41 into Marquette County and east over M-25 through Chatham, Munising, Newberry and ending in downtown Sault Ste. Marie. At Negaunee, M-28 took the former routing of M-15 between Negaunee and Marquette for 10 miles (16 km) while US 41 ran along a portion of M-35. This southern loop routing of M-28 lasted until 1935-01-07 when M-28 was moved to US 41 and the former route became Marquette CR 492. A new routing of M-28 in the Newberry area opened on 1936-12-09 and a new M-28A (later BUS M-28) was designated until 1953. Another realignment on 1937-08-30 marked the transfer of M-28 out of downtown Ishpeming and Negaunee. This former routing later became BUS M-28.[28]
In 1941, the routings of M-28 and M-94 were reversed between Harvey and Munising.[28] Since then, M-28 has run along its lakeshore routing through Au Train. M-28 was extended along US 2 to the state line at Ironwood, and the eastern end of M-28 through Brimley was moved to a new alignment ending at US 2 in Dafter in 1942. This eastern end was moved along US 2 back to Sault Ste. Marie in 1948. The terminus was returned to Dafter in 1950.[28]
From 1952 to 1962, M-28 crossed US 2 at Wakefield going south and stopped at the Wisconsin line, connecting with a county road. This segment of highway (now Gogebic CR 519)[29] was turned back to the county on 1962-06-30. The last major change to the M-28 routing occurred on 1989-03-03 when the eastern terminus was moved east to M-129.[28]
Future
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Michigan_480_Marquette_County.svg/80px-Michigan_480_Marquette_County.svg.png)
In the 2005-08-24 edition, the Marquette Mining Journal reported that Marquette County Board and the County Road Commission are in talks with MDOT to hand over jurisdiction of Marquette County Road 480 to the state. Several options have been discussed as to the routing, but all propose making CR 480 a part of M-28.[30]
The major reason given behind rerouting M-28 along CR 480 was cost. "The road commission receives about $50,000 a year in state gas tax money but spends about $100,000 to maintain CR 480 because of the type and volume of traffic it receives."[30] Turning CR 480 over to the state would shift the maintenance costs to the state as well.[30]
MDOT has indicated it has not asked for jurisdiction, but that to take over the route, there would need to be a through-route with community support in place. Several proposals include building a "spur" from US 41/M-28 through the east end of Ishpeming to meet CR 480 west of Negaunee. This spur would pass through recently reopened former mining "caving grounds" and to the south of the Mather A & B Mine complex.[30]
The land that was purchased by Ishpeming and Negaunee, the mining company land, this has the potential to help in the development of that if this is compatible. I think both cities will be interested in taking a look at what the land uses are and where this (spur) would push through.
— Gerry Corkin, Marquette County Board Chairman, Mining Journal[30]
This spur routing proposal would open up land to development between the downtown areas of the two cities involved. If jurisdiction is transferred and M-28 is routed over CR 480 as proposed, M-28 would leave the concurrency with US 41 near Teal Lake in Negaunee, crossing through the caving grounds area west of downtown to connect to Rail Street. Rail Street would serve as the connector to CR 480, which ends at the intersection of Rail and Ann streets and Healey Avenue. Proposals indicate two routing options for the east end of CR 480. One would route M-28 back along US 41 from Beaver Grove north of the CR 480 eastern terminus to the existing M-28 in Harvey. A second would route it along CR 551/Cherry Creek Road from CR 480 to M-28 in Harvey.[30]
Major intersections
The following table shows the major intersections along the routing of M-28. Included are intersections with county-designated highways, other state trunklines, U.S. Highways and Interstate freeways.
Business loops
There have been three different business loops of M-28, Ishpeming-Negaunee, Marquette and Newberry. Only the business loop serving Ishpeming and Negaunee is still designated. BUS US 41 in Marquette was formerly designated as BUS US 41/BUS M-28. The additional BUS M-28 designation was removed in 1981,[32] and the route was decommissioned completely in 2005.[33] The Newberry BUS M-28 was designated from 1936-12-09 until 1953.[28]

M-28 Business Route, or BUS M-28, is a business route running through the downtown districts of Ishpeming and Negaunee, Michigan. It is one of three business loops for M-numbered highways in the state of Michigan.[4] BUS M-28 runs south along Lakeshore Drive and east Division Street in Ishpeming. Before reaching downtown, the highway passes Lake Bancroft. In Negaunee, the routing utilizes County Road east from the city line. There it turns north along Silver, Jackson, Main streets and Teal Lake Avenue, ending at US 41/M-28 north of downtown by Teal Lake. The total length of BUS M-28 is 4.87 miles (7.84 km).[31]
History
BUS M-28 was originally a portion of US 41/M-28 before the construction of the northerly bypass of Ishpeming and Negaunee in the 1930s. The business loop would not be designated BUS M-28 permanently until 1958. It was designated US 41A/M-28A, ALT US 41/ALT M-28 before being redesignated BUS US 41/BUS M-28. This mirrored the other Marquette County business route, BUS US 41.[32]
M-35 formerly ran in downtown Negaunee, joining BUS M-28 northward from Silver St on to US 41/M-28. This routing would be moved to bypass the city on 1964-12-29 when mining activity destabilized a portion of the routing.[34] From this point on, BUS M-28 would run solo its entire length. The western end of BUS M-28 was rerouted on 1999-06-04.[35] The City of Ishpeming petitioned the Michigan Department of Transportation to reroute the highway along Lakeshore Drive to US 41/M-28. Previously, it ran along Greenwood Street and North Lake Road meeting US 41/M-28 in the West Ishpeming neighborhood of Ishpeming Township.[35]
MDOT in a partnership with the City of Negaunee upgraded Teal Lake Avenue between Arch and Rock streets in a streetscaping project to provide a "pedestrian refuge area". This work entailed reconstruction of the retaining wall, curbing and gutters in 2005. Arch Street is the access to Negaunee High School, and this section of BUS M-28 is near the athletic field complex in Negaunee. The project budgeted $120,200 with $24,200 from the City of Negaunee.[36]
