Beginning Monday, October 20, Oberstar Inc. will be closing McClellan Avenue between Fair Avenue and Wright Street. A signed detour route will be provided around the closure using Fair Avenue, Lincoln Avenue, and Wright Street. 

Truck traffic is advised to utilize US-41 and Wright Street as a preferred detour route. 

The closure is required for utility service installation for the McClellan Habitat for Humanity Homes project.  The closure is anticipated to last one week during which time access to homes and businesses will be maintained.

The public is advised to take caution when traveling through this area and to be alert for construction and advisory signage.

As fall brush and leaf cleanup preparations begin, please do not place leaves in the road or along the curb line. This causes leaves to collect in the storm drains and creates flooding in the streets. This sediment is also entering the storm drain system with the potential of plugging the storm water main.

Leaves must be placed behind the curb line, not in the street. Residents not complying will be in violation of Section 38-22(c) of the Marquette City Code. We are also reminding motorists to avoid parking in positions that block access to leaf piles, or they will not be picked up.

The schedule is as follows:

Brush Collection: October 27 - 31

Leaf Collection: November 3 - 14
