Southern Entrance |
 |
US 45 passes into Wisconsin south of Watersmeet. Immediately upon crossing the state line, US 45 intersects County
Trunk Highway (CTH) B, which straddles the border between Michigan and Wisconsin for a distance of nearly thirty miles before it crosses the state line itself
and turns into M-64. The first US 45 South shield into the Badger State stands just after the CTH-B intersection, and the WELCOME TO WISCONSIN sign is soon
behind that. (PHOTO # 1: Roberet Halonen | August 23, 2003) |

In the northbound direction, the departure of US 45 from the Badger State and corresponding entrance into the Wolverine State is marked by
a WELCOME TO MICHIGAN sign, followed closely by the first US 45 North trailblazer. (PHOTO # 2: Robert Halonen | August 23, 2003) |

Northern Terminus |
 |
The northern terminus of US 45 is at a downtown Ontonagon intersection that also serves as the northern terminus
of M-64, just a few blocks northwest of the western end of M-38. An interesting attribute of this intersection is that the blinker here is attached to a mast arm, as opposed to the typical Michigan standard span wire. (PHOTO # 1: Barry Camp | September 30, 2001) |

This close-up of the northern end of US 45 reveals that there are additional shields at the intersection itself pointing
toward the respective starts of M-64 South and US 45 South. Lake Superior is just behind the large building on the left side of the photo. (PHOTO # 2: Barry Camp | September 30, 2001) |

Here is the view on M-64 North as it comes to an end at the beginning of US 45 South.
