Nominator's comments: Site of the first highway centerline in the US, I present to you CR 492. (Scott5114 was there this past summer, btw.) Anyway, I know there aren't photos of the roadway, but that's also being rectified as soon as possible.
It's nice to see a CR at ACR. I'll go ahead and take a look later on. TCN7JM 21:27, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Only one comment here: I've never heard of a terminus being on another highway. Maybe use a different preposition?
More to come, though I must ask if it is at all possible for a map to be made. No GIS data for county roads? TCN7JM 21:41, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Route description
Isn't "residential neighborhoods" redundant?
I would propose just linking "tuberculosis". Not sure the "tuberculosis sanitarium" redlink is going to turn blue anytime soon.
In the very next sentence, you use "before" as a preposition twice and it doesn't read very well.
Why have you linked CR 550, but not CR 500?
History
I'm a bit confused. You say in the RD that drivers at the US 41/M-28 intersection have to the Michigan-left-esque thing, but in the History, you say that they no longer have to. Could you please explain?
That's all I have to say. TCN7JM 18:46, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, copyedits applied. CR 550 has an article started in a sandbox because it's one of the last primary CRs in the county I plan to give an article. As for the history, I applied a copy edit to clarify that there is a new option to connect the two segments of CR 492. Thanks for the review, and let me know if further tweaks are needed.

Concerning the last one, you now have a sentence that switches from past tense to present tense: "After the project was completed, motorists have a second option..." TCN7JM 01:15, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okey dokes, you've fixed that sentence. I support. TCN7JM 01:24, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I will review the article. Dough4872 23:25, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comments:
"Several historic sites line the roadway as it runs south and parallel to the main highway, U.S. Highway 41 (US 41) through the Marquette Iron Range in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.", perhaps also mention M-28 here.
"The highway was later a part of M-28 before being transferred back to county control.", wasn't US 41 also signed along this road?
In the first paragraph of the route description, you overuse "Maas Street". Can you try to cut down on the use?
"M-35 approaches the county road from the north before yielding to the country road.", what is this supposed to mean?
"Traffic crossing between the two sides have to use the main highway through median turn arounds in a maneuver similar to a Michigan left.", how is this maneuver different from a Michigan left.
I would remove the redlink to CR 550 since CRs are generally not notable enough for articles.
When was the Trunk Line 15 designation first assigned?
" The western end of CR 492 was moved by 2001. Before this realignment, CR 492 followed Brookton Road, parallel to US 41/M-28 before turning to the previous terminus just west of the border between Marquette Township and the City of Marquette." isn't this supposed to be the eastern end?

No, actually, it wasn't, despite what certain historical markers and news articles that parrot them say. M-15 was routed along the Marquette–Negaunee Road, but when M-15 was redesignated US 41, the latter number was run concurrently with M-35 from downtown Negaunee out into Negaunee Township and then along a county road previously not a state highway into Marquette. M-28 was extended eastward from its terminus in Covington along US 41, but used the former route of M-15 between the two cities before rejoining US 41 in Marquette. So yes, the maps I have prove the historical marker at Dead Man's Curve wrong: CR 492 was never part of US 41.
I don't think four mentions in one paragraph of that size is "overuse", and in any case, the first two usages can't really be separated out.
Traffic along CR 492 has the right of way, and cars on M-35 have to stop before turning onto the concurrency.
The median crossings are connected differently, and the turnaround in US 41/M-28 that northbound traffic along CR 492 would have to use is quite a bit farther away and downhill from the main crossing.
Actually, I have plans to write a CR 550 article based on the news coverage from when MDOT was paying remove several series of curves. Dominic Jacobetti died in office before the state completed the last section of the overall project, but he had previously attempted to get MDOT to take jurisdiction of CR 550 as well.
Unknown at this time; I've been unable to pin down when the MSHD switched from internally designating state trunkline highways as "Divisions" and "Branches of Divisions" and applied that "T.L." numbers were redone as the M- numbers.
Good catch. Updating shortly. Imzadi 1979→ 00:47, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support - The article looks good now. Dough4872 22:54, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Review by Rschen7754
Since I won't be doing a full review on either of the non-US ones that are currently up I'll take this one. --Rschen7754 09:40, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Preliminary check (infobox, RJL, references) turned up no problems. --Rschen7754 12:24, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Route description
Through this area, the Iron Ore Heritage Trail, a new multi-use trail system, will follow CR 492. - seems a bit vague/crystal ballish - what is the status? or maybe "has been planned to follow" or something to that effect?
near the Eagle Mills location in the township. - not sure what this means
M-35 approaches the county road from the north before yielding to the country road. - ditto
Is CR 550 notable or should it be redirecting somewhere?
East of this intersection - starts two consecutive sentences.
History
and in the curves - along the curves?
After this transfer, it carried the CR 492 designation. - what is "it"?
Should be a support after it's done. --Rschen7754 00:16, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
@Rschen7754:. All of the above have been copyedited. CR 550 has notability, but I haven't finished working on the article in sandbox. Let me know if I need to tweak anything further. Just a note, but in that area of the UP, we have "locations" which, like Eagle Mills, are named areas that sprung up around the older mines and other industrial sites. Unlike unincorporated communities, they didn't get post offices of their own and are more like disconnected neighborhoods from a larger community. Imzadi 1979→ 14:44, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support issues resolved. --Rschen7754 19:50, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I am beginning a spotcheck immediately. The source numbers are as of this revision. I am reviewing the following sources:
Source 7: Great
Source 13: Awesome
Source 18: Superb
Source 23: Fabulous
Source 24: Cool
Source 25: Nice
This will be done within the next couple of hours. TCN7JM 03:32, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And I'm out of adjectives, so, uh...Support. TCN7JM 04:07, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
