[edit] Notes
H-58 is the main access road for the Pictured Rocks National Lakshore. Since 2004-05, signage along the route has been greatly improved by the Alger County Road Commission. Portions of the road are paved while the majority of the road's length in Alger County and all of the road's length in Luce County is gravel. The Alger County Road Commission has a five-stage plan to pave the remaining sections of the road between Melstrand and Grand Marais utilizing National Park Service funding. According to a 2006-07-13 story in the Marquette Mining Journal, "The horizontal alignment of the road will be changed in most places and some of the extremely tight curves will be straightened out. The road will be designed for travel speeds of 40 mph. to maintain the nature of the road and the park setting." The projected completion date is in 2010.
