MARQUETTE, MI-- Marquette County emergency responders, utility companies, and the County Road Commission are working to clean up the region, following a severe storm that passed through the area
early Monday morning.
UPPCO and the Marquette Board of Light and Power say more than 2,000 residents are without power as of 6:30 a.m.
Several roads are closed in the Negaunee and Ishpeming areas because of downed trees, power lines, and other debris blocking roadways.
They include:
US-41 at County Road 496
Cooper Lake Road
Stoneville Road
County Road 581 at County Road PPR
M-35 at the Negaunee Township Hall
Multiple roads in the City of Ishpeming
US-41 just west of Westwood Drive
Officials remind residents never to approach downed power lines. Instead, contact Central Dispatch so the fire department can be sent.
