High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! US Highway 2 (US 2) is a component of the United States Numbered Highway System that connects Everett, Washington, to the Upper Peninsula (UP) of the US state of Michigan, with a separate segment that runs from Rouses Point, New York, to Houlton, Maine. In Michigan, the highway runs through the UP in two segments as a part of the state trunkline highway system, entering the state at Ironwood and ending at St. Ignace; in between, US 2 briefly enters the state of Wisconsin. As one of the major transportation arteries in the UP, US 2 is a major conduit for traffic through the state and neighboring northern Midwest states. Two sections of the roadway are listed as part of the Great Lakes Circle Tours, as well as other state-designated heritage routes. There are several memorial highway designations and historic bridges along US 2 that date to the 1910s and 1920s. As a rural highway in the UP, US 2 passes through two national and two state forests.
