Separated into two separate sections, the 109.14 mile west segment of U.S. 2 enters the Wolverine State at Ironwood across the Wisconsin border near Hurley. Angling southeast at Wakefield, U.S. 2 travels through rural forests to Marenisco, Watersmeet, and Iron River. At Crystal Falls, U.S. 2 joins U.S. 141 with both U.S. highways turning south for Florence, Wisconsin.
U.S. 2 / 141 enter Michigan a second time at the Menominee River northwest of Iron Mountain. While U.S. 141 leaves at Quinnesec for a return to Wisconsin, U.S. 2 continues southeast to Norway and Powers. U.S. 41 meets U.S. 2 at Powers, with the U.S. highways advancing east to Escanaba then turning north for Gladstone. U.S. 2 turns east again at Rapid Rivers as U.S. 41 departs north for Marquette. Primarily following the northern shores of Lake Michigan from Manistique eastward, U.S. 2 concludes its 196 mile east segment at I-75 north of the Mackinac Bridge in St. Ignace.
