Federal Inspector Seeks Major Change on M-12 West of Iron River
A federal inspector's visit to Crystal Falls sparks talk of rerouting M-12 west of Iron River. The plan would shift the road south of Tamarack Lake, avoid railroad crossings, and shorten the route by about seven miles. Concrete paving is approved for ten miles from Watersmeet, with broader construction planned toward Ironwood and Tron River within five years.
