Nebraska Highway 35 (N-35) is a 69.51miles state highway in northeastern Nebraska, United States, that connects U.S. Route 275 (US 275) and Nebraska Highway 24 (N-24) in Norfolk (in Madison County) with U.S. Route 75/U.S. Route 77 (US 75/US 77) immediately west of Dakota City (in Dakota County). N-35 is maintained by the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) and serves as a connector between Norfolk and Sioux City, Iowa. For its entire length (except when it passes through the cities of Wayne and Wakefield) N-35 runs through rural agricultural land.[1]

Route description

Madison County

N-35 begins at an intersection with US 275 and N-24 in southeastern Norfolk in Madison County. (From the intersection US 275 heads east toward Wisner and Fremont and west toward Meadow Grove and Neligh. N-24 heads south, then south-east toward Stanton.) From its western terminus N-35 initially heads northerly as a four - lane divided highway along an old alignment of US 275 (and subsequently the former U.S. Route 273 Business loop [US 275 Bus]).[1]

Just over 1miles north, N-35 reaches a roundabout. (From the roundabout, the former routing of US 275 [and the former US 275 Bus] head west along Norfolk Avenue through Norfolk to cross U.S. Route 81 [US 81] and then reconnect with US 275 on the western edge of town. North Victory Road heads north from the roundabout toward Northeast Community College.) From the roundabout, N-35 heads northeast (still as a four-lane divided highway) for roughly NaNmiles before leaving Norfolk, immediately crossing 843rd Road (East Benjamin Avenue), and leaving Madison County to enter Stanton County.[1]

Stanton County

About 1.8miles northeast, after entering Stanton County and passing along the northwestern edge of the unincorporated community of Woodland Park, N-35 connects with the west end of NE Industrial Drive and then narrows to a two-lane road. Approximately 2.1miles farther northeast, N-35 crosses 846th Road and leaves Stanton County to enter Wayne County. (N-35 does not have any major intersections within Stanton County.)[1]

Wayne County

After continuing northeast for approximately 0.8miles in Wayne County, N-35 curves to head east along 847th Road and then immediately connects with the south end of Nebraska Spur 90A (S-90A) at a T intersection. (S-90A heads north for NaNdisp=sqbrNaNdisp=sqbr to the village of Hoskins.) After heading about 5.6miles along 847th Road, N-35 curves to head north along 567th Avenue for roughly 4miles. N-35 then curves slightly to the north-northeast. Just under 1miles later, N-35 connects with the west end of Nebraska Spur 90B (S-90B) at 852nd Road. (S-90B heads east for 0.18miles to the village of Winside, while 852nd Road heads west toward US 81.)[1]

Roughly 1.1miles north of S-90B, N-35 curves slightly to head north once again, this time along 568th Avenue. 3miles farther north, N-35 connects with the west end of Nebraska Highway 98 (N-98) at a T intersection on 856th Road. (From the intersection, N-989 heads west toward Nebraska Highway 57, US 81, and Pierce.) From its junction with N-98, N-35 heads east along 856th Road and for 7miles before reaching 575th Avenue. At 575th Avenue N-35 enters the city of Wayne, widens to three lanes (with center left-turn lane), and continues through Wayne along 7th Street. After 1miles, and after passing along the southern edge of the Greenwood Cemetery, N-35 reaches Nebraska Highway 15 (N-15/Main Street) at the center of Wayne. (N-15 heads north toward Laurel and Hartington, and then Yankton in South Dakota. N-15 heads south toward Norfolk and Fremont.)[1]

East of N-15, N-35 continues east along 7th Street for 1miles before leaving Wayne (at roughly 755th Avenue). After leaving Wayne, N-35 continues east along 856th Road and promptly narrows back to a two-lane road and passes just south of the Wayne Municipal Airport (Stan Morris Field). 7miles after leaving Wayne, N-35 connects with the north end of Nebraska Highway 16 (N-16) at 584th Avenue. (N-16 heads south from the intersection toward Pender and 856th Road continues east as a gravel road toward Nebraska Highway 9 [N-9].) From its junction with N-16, N-35 heads north along 584th Avenue for about 1.7miles before entering the city of Wakefield along Oak Street. Several blocks into Wakefield (at 858th Road) N-35 leaves Wayne County and enters Dixon County.[1]

Dixon County

After continuing north for about 0.6miles along Oak Street within Wakefield (but now in Dixon County), N-35 leaves Wakefield and promptly crosses over the Logan Creek Dredge. Roughly 1.4miles north of Wakfield, N-35 reaches its western junction with N-9 at 860th Road. (From that intersection N-9 heads north along 584th Avenue toward Allen and Ponca, while 860th Avenue heads west toward N-15.) Heading east along 860th Avenue (concurrent with N-9) for 7miles N-35 reaches its eastern junction with N-9 at 591st Avenue and the Dakota County line. (N-9 head south from the intersection along 591st Avenue to quickly pass through Emerson and then on toward Pender, while 591st Avenue heads north as a dirt road toward Waterbury.)[1]

Dakota County

After continuing east for about NaNmiles, but now along 260th Street and in Dakota County, N-35 begins a somewhat winding northeasterly course. After approximately 9.3miles N-35 passes northeast through the southern part of the village of Hubbard. About 1.8miles northeast of Hubbard, N-35 briefly resumes heading east along 185th Road. However, about 2.3miles east, N-35 briefly heads northeast before resuming its eastern course, but now along 175th Avenue. After roughly NaNmiles N-35 reaches the southern end of Nebraska Highway 110 (N-110) at G Avenue. (N-110 heads north along G Avenue toward Jackson, but ends at U.S. Route 20 after only 2.26miles. G Avenue heads south toward Homer.) NaNmiles east of its junction with N-110, N-35 reaches its eastern terminus at US 75/US 77 immediately west of the city of Dakota City. (From that intersection US 75/US 77 heads north to pass through South Sioux City and then on toward Sioux City in Iowa. US 75/US 77 heads south toward Homer and Fremont. From the western terminus of N-35, the road continues east as Broadway Street into Dakota City.)[1]

History

N-35 was established in 1926.[2]
