Nebraska Highway 35

Nebraska Highway 35 (N-35) is a 69.51 mi 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.

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]).

Just over 1 mi 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 1+1/2 mi before leaving Norfolk, immediately crossing 843rd Road (East Benjamin Avenue), and leaving Madison County to enter Stanton County.

Stanton County
About 1.8 mi 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 2.1 mi 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.)

Wayne County
After continuing northeast for approximately 0.8 mi 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 1/4 mi to the village of Hoskins.) After heading about 5.6 mi along 847th Road, N-35 curves to head north along 567th Avenue for roughly 4.0 mi. N-35 then curves slightly to the north-northeast. Just under 1.0 mi later, N-35 connects with the west end of Nebraska Spur 90B (S-90B) at 852nd Road. (S-90B heads east for 0.18 mi to the village of Winside, while 852nd Road heads west toward US 81.)

Roughly 1.1 mi north of S-90B, N-35 curves slightly to head north once again, this time along 568th Avenue. 3 mi 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 7.0 mi 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 1 mi, 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.)

East of N-15, N-35 continues east along 7th Street for 1 mi 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). 7 mi 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 1.7 mi 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.

Dixon County
After continuing north for about 0.6 mi along Oak Street within Wakefield (but now in Dixon County), N-35 leaves Wakefield and promptly crosses over the Logan Creek Dredge. Roughly 1.4 mi 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 7 mi 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.)

Dakota County


After continuing east for about 1+1/2 mi, but now along 260th Street and in Dakota County, N-35 begins a somewhat winding northeasterly course. After approximately 9.3 mi N-35 passes northeast through the southern part of the village of Hubbard. About 1.8 mi northeast of Hubbard, N-35 briefly resumes heading east along 185th Road. However, about 2.3 mi east, N-35 briefly heads northeast before resuming its eastern course, but now along 175th Avenue. After roughly 1/2 mi 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 2.26 mi. G Avenue heads south toward Homer.) 2+1/2 mi 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.)

History
N-35 was established in 1926.
