U.S. Highway 41 (US 41) is a part of the U.S. Highway System that runs from Miami, Florida to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (UP). In the U.S. state of Michigan, it is a state trunkline highway that enters the state via the Interstate Bridge between Marinette, Wisconsin and Menominee, Michigan. Along its 279.167-mile (449.276 km) route, US 41 serves as a major conduit for Michigan traffic. Most of the highway is listed on the National Highway System. Along the routing, various sections are rural two-lane highway, urbanized four-lane divided expressway and the Copper Country Trail National Scenic Byway. The northernmost community along the highway is Copper Harbor at the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, home of a mileage sign informing motorists of the 1,990 miles (3,203 km) to Miami at the other end of US 41. The trunkline ends at a cul-de-sac east of Fort Wilkins State Park after serving the Central UP and Copper Country regions of Michigan.

Along the route, US 41 passes through farm fields, forest lands, and along the Lake Superior shoreline. The highway is included in the Lake Superior Circle Tour and the Lake Michigan Circle Tour and also passes through the Hiawatha National Forest and the Keweenaw National Historical Park. Historical landmarks along the trunkline include the Marquette Branch Prison, Peshekee River Bridge and the Quincy Mine. The highway is known for a number of historic bridges including a lift bridge and a bridge called "one of Michigan's most important vehicular bridges."[3] Seven different memorial highway designations have been applied to parts of the trunkline since 1917, including one named for a Civil War general.

US 41 was an original US Highway first designated in 1926. It replaced the M-15 designation of the day, which ran from Menominee to Marquette, Houghton and ended in Copper Harbor. M-15 was a part of the original trunkline system. Realignments and construction projects have expanded the highway to four lanes in Delta and Marquette counties. These changes also created three business loops off the main highway, one of which still exists with a different designation.

Route description

The Portage Lake Lift Bridge carries US 41/M-26 across the Keweenaw Waterway from Houghton to Hancock.

US 41 is a major highway for Michigan traffic in the Upper Peninsula.[4] The 279.167-mile (449.276 km) highway comprises mostly two lanes, undivided except for sections that are concurrent with US 2 near Escanaba or M-28 near Marquette. US 41/M-28 is a four-lane expressway along the "Marquette Bypass", and segments of the highway in Delta and Marquette counties have four lanes.[5] The route from the southern terminus to downtown Houghton is part of the National Highway System,[6] and sections of the trunkline are part of the Lake Superior and Lake Michigan circle tours.[5]

Menominee to Rapid River

US 41 enters Michigan on the Interstate Bridge connecting Marinette, Wisconsin and Menominee, Michigan. In the City of Menominee, US 41 follows 10th Street and 10th Avenue through downtown. The highway meets the southern terminus of M-35 before following 10th Avenue north out of town east of the Menominee–Marinette Airport and west of the Bay of Green Bay.[7] The highway runs north through rolling farmland in the central Menominee County communities of Wallace, Stephenson, and the twin communities of Carney and Nadeau. At Powers, US 41 joins with US 2. The two highways run concurrently and turn east toward Escanaba. US 2/US 41 crosses into the Hannahville Indian Community at the communities of Harris in Menominee County and Bark River in Delta County. The county line between the two communities also marks the boundary between the Central and Eastern time zones.[5]

M-35 is the shortest state trunkline highway between Menominee and Escanaba. Under American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) guidelines, US Highways are to follow the most direct path between two locations, but US 41 runs inland and M-35 goes more directly up the Lake Michigan shoreline. According to the 2007 Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) State Highway Map, the US 41 route runs for 65 miles (105 km) versus 55 miles (89 km) for M-35.[5]

Just west of downtown Escanaba, US 2/US 41 joins M-35 at the intersection of Ludington Street and Lincoln Road. Ludington and Lincoln form the east–west and north–south axes respectively of the Escanaba street numbering grid. From these two streets, the east–west avenues and north–south streets are numbered in a grid in the City of Escanaba.[8] US 2/US 41 enters Escanaba from the west along Ludington Street, turns north along Lincoln Road, and joins M-35. The three highways run north along Little Bay de Noc using a four-lane divided highway to the city of Gladstone, where M-35 turns west along 4th Avenue North. US 2/US 41 continues on a four-lane expressway north to Rapid River at the end of Little Bay de Noc. There US 2 turns east, and US 41 turns north and inland to cross the Upper Peninsula.[5]

Rapid River to Covington

This stretch of US 41 runs north through forest lands, running through the western edge of the Hiawatha National Forest.[9] At Trenary, US 41 turns northwest through the southwest corner of Alger County, crossing into Marquette County north of Kiva. M-94 follows US 41 for approximately 2 miles (3 km) near Skandia, before it turns westward to provide access to K. I. Saywer, a former air force base. US 41 continues northerly into the Chocolay Township community of Harvey. There it meets the eastern junction with M-28, and the two highways become concurrent for nearly 60 miles (97 km), during which they follow the Lake Superior Circle Tour.[5]

US 41/M-28 along the Marquette Bypass

US 41/M-28 runs north along the Lake Superior shoreline, passing the Marquette Branch Prison and crossing the Carp River before cresting Shiras Hill on the way into the City of Marquette, entering town on Front Street. South of downtown, the highway turns west along the Marquette Bypass, a four-lane expressway complete with two overpasses. The bypass moves traffic around the former routing of US 41/M-28 along Front and Washington streets, a routing that was used for Business US 41 (BUS US 41) until 2005. West of Washington Street, US 41/M-28 follows a heavily trafficked business corridor. In this corridor, the 2006 average annual daily traffic (AADT) counts showed a peak 34,700 vehicles on an average day along the highway.[10] US 41/M-28 climbs hilly terrain into the cities of Negaunee and Ishpeming, running slightly southwesterly along the way.[11] The two cities host BUS M-28, which was once designated as BUS US 41 as well. Between the twin cities, US 41/M-28 skirts the shores of Teal Lake in Negaunee and then returns to a two-lane roadway west of Ishpeming.[5]

US 41/M-28 continues west through rural Marquette County and passes along the north shore of Lake Michigamme between Champion and Michigamme, crossing the Peshekee River. In eastern Baraga County, the highway runs along an isthmus between Lake George and Lake Ruth in the community of Three Lakes. Further west, US 41 meets the northern terminus of US 141, which marks the western junction of M-28 near Covington.[5]

Covington to Copper Harbor

US 41 turns north solo from Covington, crossing the Sturgeon River, on the way to the historic sawmill town of Alberta. The highway enters the town of L'Anse on the east side of Keweenaw Bay, rounding the bay to the town of Baraga. Both towns are a part of the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community. US 41 continues along the shores of the bay north into Houghton County, turning along Portage Lake near Chassell.[5]

US 41 enters the City of Houghton along Townsend Drive on the campus of Michigan Technological University. It passes along Fraternity Row into downtown. There US 41 is split along the one-way pairing of Sheldon Ave for northbound and Montezuma Avenue for southbound traffic. The two streets merge west of downtown at the south end of the Portage Lake Lift Bridge.[12] Downtown Houghton marks the start of the Copper Country Trail National Scenic Byway.[13]

North of the lift bridge, US 41 turns west through the downtown of Hancock using the one-way pairing of Quincy Street northbound and Hancock Street southbound. The trunkline then follows Lincoln Drive after merging the two directions west of downtown. The highway continues up Quincy Hill and out of town, passing the Quincy Mine at the top of the hill.[14] North of Hancock, US 41 passes the Houghton County Memorial Airport before reaching the towns of Calumet and Laurium. US 41 merges with M-26 in Calumet, and they follow the center of the Keweenaw Peninsula to the community of Phoenix. M-26 turns northwesterly in Phoenix to loop through Eagle River and Eagle Harbor, while US 41 turns easterly through the rural communities of Central and Delaware. The two highways meet one last time in Copper Harbor where M-26 ends.[5] US 41 turns east along Gratiot Street to connect to Fort Wilkins State Park.[15] A mileage sign in Copper Harbor gives the distance down US 41 to Miami, Florida as 1,990 miles (3,203 km).[16] Past the park entrance, US 41 ends at a cul-de-sac, marked by a large wooden sign.[17]

History

Mainline history

Sign marking northern terminus, east of Copper Harbor

The first highway designated along the path of the modern US 41 was M-15. The M-15 designation was assigned by 1919.[18] The 1926 creation of the U.S. Highway System led to the redesignation of M-15 as US 41.[2] The northern terminus of US 41 was extended easterly from Copper Harbor to Fort Wilkins State Park in 1930.[19] M-28 was extended in 1927 along US 41 into Marquette County and east over M-25 through Munising, and Newberry, before 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.[20] This southern loop routing of M-28 lasted until approximately 1936, when M-28 was moved to US 41,[21] and the former route became Marquette County Road 492 (CR 492).[22] Another realignment in 1937 marked the transfer of US 41/M-28 out of downtown Ishpeming and Negaunee. This former routing later became BUS M-28.[23] A realignment was completed in 1938 moving US 41 along a due-north path between Rapid River and Trenary.[24][25] US 41 was completely paved in 1952. The final two sections to be paved were in Baraga County and Keweenaw County.[26][27][28]

M-35 was added to US 41 between Negaunee and Baraga in 1953. This extra concurrency connected the two previously disconnected segments of M-35.[28][29] The Portage Lake Bridge opened in 1959 at a cost of $13 million (equivalent to $136 million in 2024).[30][31] The Marquette Bypass opened in 1963 as a four-lane expressway south of downtown Marquette. Washington and Front streets in Marquette were redesignated as BUS US 41 at this time.[32] The concurrency with M-35 through Marquette and Baraga counties was removed in 1968. M-35 west of Baraga became a new M-38 and M-35 was shortened to its current northern terminus.[33][34]

Another expressway section of US 41 was opened along US 2/US 41 between Gladstone and Rapid River in 1971.[35][36] A BUS M-28 designation was added to BUS US 41 in 1975, making it similar to the BUS US 41/BUS M-28 designation along BUS M-28 in Ishpeming and Negaunee.[37] This second designation was removed by 1982.[38]

US 41 in the Copper Country was recognized on September 26, 1995, as the state's first scenic heritage route.[39][40] The first section given the designation runs from Central to Copper Harbor. The designation was extended south to Mohawk in 2002 and Houghton in 2004.[41] US 41 north of Houghton is also designated the Copper Country Trail of the National Scenic Byways program.[13] This designation was given on September 22, 2005.[40]

Construction started on November 1, 2004, to replace the Interstate Bridge carrying US 41 between Marinette, Wisconsin, and Menominee.[42] The project wrapped up on November 22, 2005, when the new bridge opened to traffic. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on December 3, 2005, to celebrate the replacement of the 1929 structure.[43]

BUS US 41 in Marquette was turned back to local control in a "route swap" between the City of Marquette and MDOT on October 10, 2005. MDOT relinquished jurisdiction over BUS US 41 and the unsigned M-554 to the City in exchange for jurisdiction over a section of McClellan Avenue used to extend M-553. As a result, BUS US 41 was decommissioned when the City took control over Washington and Front streets.[44]

Portage Lake Lift Bridge

Main article: Portage Lake Lift Bridge
The Portage Lake Lift Bridge at night from north of Hancock, MI

The Portage Lake Lift Bridge connects the cities of Hancock and Houghton, by crossing over the Portage Waterway, an arm of Portage Lake that cuts across the Keweenaw Peninsula. A canal links the final several miles of the lake arm to Lake Superior to the northwest.[45]

This lift bridge features a middle section capable of being raised from a low point of 4 feet (1 m) of clearance over the water to a clearance of 32 feet (10 m) to allow boats to pass underneath. The Portage Lake Lift Bridge is the widest and heaviest double-decked vertical lift bridge in the world. The lower deck of the bridge was originally open to rail traffic, but this level is now closed to trains and is used in the winter for snowmobile traffic. Throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s, the bridge was painted the same colors as the Mackinac Bridge in cream and forest green. However, in the early 1990s it was repainted in a cream and robins egg blue color scheme, the same colors as the National Park Service's ship Ranger III which is docked in Houghton near the lift bridge.[45]

Other historic bridges

MDOT has highlighted five other bridges along US 41 on the department website for their historic character. The first is in Limestone Township in Alger County. Designated Trunk Line Bridge No. 264, this bridge carries King Road across the Whitefish River along a former alignment of US 41 built in 1919. Constructed of two 35-foot (11 m) through girders, the bridge continues to carry traffic today although it is no longer on a state trunkline highway.[46]

Abandoned Peshekee River Bridge in Michigamme Township

Today, drivers cannot 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.[47] MDOT has listed it as "one of Michigan's most important vehicular bridges".[3] It was the first bridge designed by the Michigan State Highway Department, the 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.[48]

Another abandoned bridge is now privately owned and in use at the mouth of the Backwater Creek on the Keweenaw Bay near L'Anse. The bridge was constructed in 1918 for $4,536 (equivalent to $91,884 in 2024).[31][49] It is an 80-foot (24 m) Warren truss design now situated on private property.[49]

One bridge still in use crosses the Sturgeon River in Baraga County, known locally as the Canyon Falls Bridge. The bridge was completed in 1948 as a steel arch bridge to span the river near the falls as part of a reconstruction project of US 41 between Ishpeming and L'Anse. The bridge has a main span of 128 feet (39 m) flanked by two 52-foot (16 m) approach spans.[50]

Business loops

Historically, these have included three business loops for US 41: Ishpeming–Negaunee, Marquette, and Baraga. Only the business loop serving Ishpeming and Negaunee is still designated, but it is no longer designated BUS US 41. BUS US 41 in Marquette was formerly designated as BUS US 41/BUS M-28. The BUS M-28 designation was removed by 1982,[38] and the route was decommissioned completely in 2005.[51]

Memorial designations

Seven memorial designations have been applied to sections of US 41. Some of these designations follow other highways that run concurrently with US 41, and only the Jacobetti and Veterans memorial highways still have signage posted on the side of the road.

The Great Lakes Automobile Route was established in 1917 by the Upper Peninsula Development Bureau. A predecessor of the Great Lakes Circle Tours years later, the route followed "...a circular journey along the banks of lakes Michigan and Superior and Green Bay..."[52] This route followed the modern US 41 from the M-28 junction in Harvey to Copper Harbor. A branch of the route also followed US 2/US 41 between Powers and Rapid River. The name fell out of use before its first anniversary because of World War I. The route was originally intended to entice motorists to drive around Lake Michigan; the side trips to Lake Superior distracted from this mission.[52]

Sheridan Road was created in the early 20th century connecting Chicago with Fort Sheridan north of the city. Both the road and the fort were named in honor of Philip Sheridan, Union general during the Civil War. Sheridan, who served as colonel of the 2nd Michigan Cavalry in 1862, was later promoted to the rank of major general during the war. The Greater Sheridan Road Association started to promote an extension of the road south to St. Louis and north through Wisconsin and Michigan to end at Fort Wilkins in Copper Harbor by 1922. The roadway followed US 41's predecessor, M-15 and included numerous road signs bearing Sheridan's silhouette mounted on his horse Rienzi. Towns along the way were encouraged to rename city streets as Sheridan Road on Labor Day 1923. The road was promoted until the Great Depression in the 1930s. All that remains are signs in Menominee noting that First Street was once Sheridan Road.[53]

The Townsend National Highway was named for Charles E. Townsend, a former congressman and senator from Michigan. As a senator, he introduced the federal highway aid bill in 1919. The Michigan Good Roads Association promoted a highway in his name between Mobile, Alabama and Michigan. The Michigan segment followed a number of highways through the two peninsulas, including the modern US 41 between Harvey and Calumet.[54] Today only Townsend Drive in Houghton retains the name in part.[12]

Memory Lane was created in 1947 along US 41 in Baraga. The local Lions Club planted over 100 red maple trees at the recommendation of a state highway department forester to honor the veterans of World War I and World War II.[55]

The Amvets Memorial Drive designation was created for the section of US 2/US 41/M-35 between the northern Escanaba city limits and CR 426 in Delta County. The American Veterans (AMVETS) organization in Michigan petitioned the Michigan Legislature to grant this designation which was granted under Public Act 144 in 1959.[56]

The D. J. Jacobetti Memorial Highway follows the segment of US 41 concurrent with M-28 between Harvey and the Ishpeming–Negaunee city limits in Marquette County. The designation was created in 1986 and continues east along M-28 to honor the longest serving member of the Michigan Legislature, elected to a record 21 terms before his death in 1994.[57]

There exists one of six Veterans Memorial Highway designations that follow a part of US 41. The Upper Peninsula designation follows the western end of M-28, including the section of US 41 between Ishpeming and Covington. This memorial was created in Public Act 10 of 2003 and dedicated on Memorial Day in 2004.[58]

Future

MDOT unveiled plans on March 31, 2009 to rebuild the intersection between Front Street and the eastern end of the Marquette Bypass during 2010. The rebuilt intersection will take the form of a roundabout, replacing several intersecting roadways that connect the north and south sections of Front Street with US 41/M-28 through the existing intersection. This will be the first intersection of its kind in the UP after completion. [59] The current intersection configuration dates back to the 1960s. It has been labeled as "dangerous and [causing] significant traffic delays" by the designers of the replacement.[60] A traffic study concluded in 2007 that the intersection would need either the roundabout or a traffic signal with several turning lanes to accommodate the traffic needs in the area. MDOT decided in favor of a two-lane, 150-foot (46 m) roundabout retaining the current right-turn lanes from the current intersection layout. These lanes will be used by right-turning traffic to bypass the circle at the center of the intersection.[60]

The upgraded intersection has been a part of the City of Marquette's master plan since 2003. MDOT engineers tout the constant-flowing nature of the intersection design as a benefit to the new intersection, and city planners are promoting the enhanced safety aspects of the design. Both parties promote the planned intersection as less expensive than a conventional stop light.[59] Construction is set to begin in May 2010 and end the following August.[61] The project has a budget of $1.1 million.[60]

Residents have expressed concerns about snow plowing and truck traffic in the intersection. The designers consulted officials of Avon, Colorado where several roundabouts are situated in a location that averages over 300 inches (760 cm) of annual snowfall. Designers also planned the size of the new intersection to accommodate truck traffic.[60] MDOT has stated that many of the concerns expressed are due to misconceptions of the design and will not come to pass.[61]

Major intersections

The following table shows the major intersections along US 41. Included are intersections with county-designated highways, other state trunklines, U.S. Highways and Interstate freeways.
