 M-35 is a state trunkline highway in the Upper Peninsula (UP) of the U.S. state of Michigan. Running for 127.99 miles (205.98 km) in a general north–south direction, it connects the cities of Menominee, Escanaba and Negaunee. The southern section of M-35 in Menominee and Delta counties carries two additional designations. M-35 forms a segment of the Lake Michigan Circle Tour, and it is the UP Hidden Coast Recreational Heritage Trail, which is a part of the Michigan Heritage Routes system. Along the southern section, the highway is the closest trunkline to the Bay of Green Bay, a section of Lake Michigan, and is also the shortest route between Menominee and Escanaba. The northern section of the highway turns inland through wooded terrain, connecting rural portions of Delta and Marquette counties. M-35 is an original state trunkline that was first designated on 1 July 1919, originally intended to run from Menominee in the south to near Big Bay in the north, before turning toward L'Anse to end at Ontonagon. However, the section through the Huron Mountains in northern Marquette and Baraga counties was never built. Automobile pioneer Henry Ford helped halt this construction to gain favor with and membership in the exclusive Huron Mountain Club. Some discontinuous sections were later ceded to local control. The northern segment of the route between Ontonagon and Baraga was retained as a discontinuous segment of the highway; this northern segment was redesignated as another state trunkline. The northern end was rerouted out of the City of Negaunee into Negaunee Township to avoid mining activity near Palmer. Recently selected: New York State Route 22 - U.S. Route 50 in Nevada - Interstate 70 in Colorado |

[edit] Scope
This WikiProject aims primarily to encourage participation in creating or expanding articles about state highways in Florida, also known as State Roads (note the capitals). This project also aims to establish standards relating to the display of information in these articles.
[edit] Routes Worthy of Articles
The following highways can have entire articles dedicated to them:
- Roads that are constructed, traversable, state-maintained, and signed with their own route numbers.
- Roads that are partly constructed or partly signed.
- Deleted roads with significant information worthy of an article.
- Interstates that run entirely in Florida (mostly spur and loop routes). Ideally, these should also be part of this WikiProject.
- Florida specific Interstate articles. For example: Interstate 10 in Florida
For routes that have been entirely deleted and whose number has not been reused, these should be merged onto a following articles, Former State Roads in east central Florida, Former State Roads in southern Florida, ect...
For county roads, see the Florida County Roads Task Force.

[edit] Participants
See Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Participants to join.
[edit] Structure
All articles are to begin with a brief description of the route in general: mileage, etc.
[edit] History
A history of the state road. This can be as brief as a few sentences or as elaborate as a few paragraphs.
[edit] Route description
These are subsections. For state roads that transverse a large part of the state, the description should be broken up using third level headings (===Miami===, for example). For state roads that transverse a large part of the state use region subsections (i.e. South Florida, Panhandle). Shorter routes that only transverse a few counties can use county subsections. All state roads that transverse one of Florida's metropolitan areas, should have that metro area as a subsection. Simply write a general paragraph of the route's routing through the region/cities/counties.
Alternate, business, and spur routes should be listed in this section as part of the text.
Route descriptions should be listed from south to north and west to east.
[edit] Major cities
Place the list of cities in an infobox located at the top of the "Route description" section. Include all cities with a population of 2,000 or greater. Use the following coding to generate the box:
{| {{Florida cities}}
*
*
*
|}
For Interstates use:
{| {{Florida cities}}
*
*
*
{{control cities}}<ref>http://users.adelphia.net/~pwolf/controlcities.html [[American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials]] [[control cities]].</ref>
|}
The cities should be listed from south to north and west to east. Control cities should be bolded.
[edit] Exit/Junction List
