Ottawa County has a robust highway system covering some 150 lane miles. These highways systems provide direct linkage to other major east/west and north/south interstate corridors.  A series of well-maintained state routes (2, 19, 51, 53, 105, 163, 269, and 590) serve as connector roadways to residents and businesses located in rural areas.
