United States Numbered Highways

U.S. Route 141 is a north-south highway in the U.S. states of Michigan and Wisconsin. U.S. Highway 41 is its parent route. Its northern terminus, on U.S. 41, is near Covington, Michigan; its southern terminus, with Interstate 43 near Bellevue, Wisconsin; it remains in existence in Green Bay, Wisconsin as a surface street.

U.S. 141 had a southern terminus in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin before Interstate 43 supplanted almost all of the segment between Green Bay and Milwaukee. North of Green Bay it lies generally to the west of U.S. 41 except for a short segment that it shares with U.S. 41, and is a shorter route than U.S. 41 between the Keweenaw Peninsula and Green Bay. From Green Bay southward it lay to the east of U.S. 41 and was a shorter route than U.S. 41; much of it was close to the western shore of Lake Michigan through such cities as Manitowoc; Sheboygan; and Port Washington. As Interstate 43 was completed it supplanted all of U.S. 141 south of its current southern terminus.

U.S. 141 as it now exists passes through the following towns not already mentioned:
