Route description
editMadison County
editN-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][3]
Just over one mile (1.6 km) 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 one and a half miles (2.4 km) before leaving Norfolk, immediately crossing 843rd Road (East Benjamin Avenue), and leaving Madison County to enter Stanton County.[1][3]
Stanton County
editAbout 1.8 miles (2.9 km) 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 miles (3.4 km) 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][3]
Wayne County
editAfter continuing northeast for approximately 0.8 miles (1.3 km) 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 one-quarter mile [0.40 km] to the village of Hoskins.) After heading about 5.6 miles (9.0 km) along 847th Road, N-35 curves to head north along 567th Avenue for roughly 4.0 miles (6.4 km). N-35 then curves slightly to the north-northeast. Just under 1.0 mile (1.6 km) later, N-35 connects with the west end of Nebraska Spur 90B (S-90B) at 852nd Road. (S-90B heads east for 0.18 miles [0.29 km] to the village of Winside, while 852nd Road heads west toward US 81.)[1][3]
Roughly 1.1 miles (1.8 km) north of S-90B, N-35 curves slightly to head north once again, this time along 568th Avenue. Three miles (4.8 km) 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 miles (11.3 km) 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 mile (1.6 km), 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][3]
East of N-15, N-35 continues east along 7th Street for one mile (1.6 km) 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). Seven miles (11 km) 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 miles (2.7 km) 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][3]
Dixon County
editAfter continuing north for about 0.6 miles (0.97 km) 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 miles (2.3 km) 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 miles (11 km) 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.)[3]
Dakota County
editAfter continuing east for about one and a half miles (2.4 km), but now along 260th Street and in Dakota County, N-35 begins a somewhat winding northeasterly course. After approximately 9.3 miles (15.0 km) N-35 passes northeast through the southern part of the village of Hubbard. About 1.8 miles (2.9 km) northeast of Hubbard, N-35 briefly resumes heading east along 185th Road. However, about 2.3 miles (3.7 km) east, N-35 briefly heads northeast before resuming its eastern course, but now along 175th Avenue. After roughly one-half mile (0.80 km) 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 miles [3.64 km]. G Avenue heads south toward Homer.) Two and a half miles (4.0 km) 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][3]
