Route Description:

US-41 begins in Wisconsin as an interstate highway, conjoined alongside I-55/I-94 in Pleasant Prairie, serving the outskirts of Racine and Kenosha. After exits to WI-11, WI-20, Cape Rd/Northwestern Ave, 5 1/2 Mile Road, and 7 Mile Road, an interchange occurs, separating from I-55/I-94. US-41 also becomes 27th Street. In Franklin, a major junction happens with WI-100, along with others such as Drexel Ave, Rawson Ave, and College Ave. Heading into Milwaukee, it bumps into CH-Y/Layton Ave, and then intersects with I-43/I-894. US-41 then briefly concurs with WI-36 as it heads West on Loomis Rd and East on Morgan Ave, then intersecting with WI-24/Forest Home Ave, WI-59/Greenfield Ave, and then WI-31/National Ave.

Several off-ramps serve into nearby streets that allow connections to I-94 heading East/West from the Zoo Interchange to Marquette Interchange. Then, it meets US-18, heading West alongside on Highland Ave. After several blocks, US-18 and US-41 split in opposite directions on 17th St in Downtown Milwaukee, US-41 heading North and US-18 heading South. It heads North, serving many blocks and eventually making a curve, then intersecting with I-55, its first exit since separating from I-43. It runs alongside I-43, until reaching WI-190/Capitol Dr, concurring and heading west towards I-43. There, an interchange happens, but US-41 splits up Northeast of I-43 on Green Bay Ave, through busy North Milwaukee.

US-41 strolls through parks while also intersecting several roads that also meet I-43, such as Hampton Ave, Silver Spring Dr, and Good Hope Rd. It also ends CH-S in between Silver Spring Dr and Good Hope Rd. It then meets 43rd St, merging onto it and ending Green Bay Ave, almost immediately after intersecting WI-100/Brown Deer Rd. US-41 continues to stroll North alongside the Milwaukee River, then intersecting WI-167 in Mequon. Concurring, US-41/WI-167 head Eastward, until reacting a junction with I-43/WI-32. WI-167 ends, and US-41 heads North, now joining I-43/WI-32 towards Green Bay.

I-43/US-41 /WI-32 continue in Grafton, off-ramping CH-C/Pioneer Rd, while also ending WI-60 at its Eastmost point. Less than a mile afterword, WI-32 splits off I-43/US-41 in Grafton, also giving access to CH-V. Just after also off-ramping to WI-33/Green Bay Ave, US-41 separates from I-43, changing course and heading diagonal to I-43 towards Green Bay. Milk Ranch Rd bridges over US-41, but then turns into a highway trunk once it ends CH-W.

It continues North for some time, intersecting CH-H to give access to Fredonia, also junctioning with a few roads in that town. Mostly farmscape, it endsCH-D to the east, intersecting Jay Rd and CH-K, and travelling eastward of Random Lake, and ending CH-RR to the east, WI-144 to the west, CT-D to the east, CH-SS to the west, intersecting CH-A, ending CH-W to the west, intersecting F, until hitting the small town of Waldo.

In Waldo, WI-28 briefly concurs with US-41, also ending CH-V to the east at the first intersection. WI-28 splits off at the east, US-41 intersects with CH-N. then CH-U, Sumac Rd, CH-PP, and CH-C at Plymouth. At the northern border of the city of Plymouth, US-41 creates a junction with I-390, an interstate which connects Madison, Fond Du Lac, and Sheboygan. I-390 also serves WI-67 in Plymouth.

Between I-390 and WI-32, US-41 meets several other county highways, intersecting CH-D, CH-H, CH-A, CH-FF, CH-MM, and CH-EH. Then, it meets WI-32 in Milhome, creating a longtime concurrence up until Green Bay.

US-41/WI-32 heads west on Water St, meeting WI-67 in Kiel, then taking a sharp right and left turn and continuing on Freemont St, then ending CH-HH to the west before turning onto 7th St and continuing northwards, taking a Northwest merge on Calumet St. A bit northwest, US-41/WI-32 enters New Holstein. It makes a left on Wisconsin Ave, ending CH-X going east, then continues down Wisconsin Ave before going right on Calumet Dr, continuing northwest rurally.

US-41/WI-32 enters Chinton. WI-23, travelling east/west, spurs in its own direction eastward but continues as a concurrence, joining the two-way concurrence. US-41/WI-23/WI-32 takes a right on Madison St, ending CH-G going south. Hitting Main St, WI-23 takes a left, exiting westwards outside of Chinton, and US-41/WI-32 continues north. On the border of Chinton, US-41/WI-32 crosses an intersection, ending CH-F in the west and CH-Y in the east. US-41/US-32 continues directly north for a while, intersecting CH-E, entering the village of Hilbert and ending WI-114 going west, ending CH-B going west, CH-HR going west, and then intersecting US-10 in Forest Junction, taking a right curve and ending CH-K eastwards. Travelling northeast, US-41/WI-32 intersects CH-Z, CH-IL, meets WI-96 in the village of Greenleaf, then turns directly north and ending CH-ZZ westwards, making another northeast turn along the Fox River, a roundabout ending CH-X going east, and finally, a one-way off-ramp loading off into Broadway St. outside Green Bay.

US-41 and WI-32 finally separate. WI-32 heads west, bridging over Fox River, as US-41 continues northeast. An intersection occurs as US-41/Monroe Ave junctions with I-755, continuing along the Fox River in Green Bay. Meeting WI-54 after Mason St crosses the Fox River, WI-54 merges with US-41 and joins before intersecting WI-141, afterwards taking a sharp eastern turn, US-41 separating and heading north towards I-43 after a few blocks, and WI-54 heads east separately on Webster Ave before intersecting with I-43 and continuing on North I-43 along as a two-way concurrence.

Now as an interstate serving Green Bay, I-43/US-41 off-ramps to Atkinson Dr, before I-43 hits its northernmost end as an interchange occurs in Howard, WI, with I-55/I-98. US-43 continues on North I-55 and East I-98, joining both and continuing US-41 as an interstate.

In the three-way concurrence, the freeway off-ramps at 5 locations heading north of the Green Bay Metro area. In Abrams, WI, I-55 splits off heading directly north, as I-98/US-41 continue northeast. I-98/US-41 serves CH-SS in Pensaukee, BUS-41 and WI-22/CH-I in Oconto, CH-A. CH-W, and CH-Y and BUS-41 in Peshtigo.

As I-98/US-41 approach the Michigan border, the two highways split, as US-41 offloads into Marinette and I-98 continues north of Marinette, junctioning with WI-64 and crossing the Menominee River into Michigan. US-41, meanwhile, ends CH-T and WI-64 in Marinette, heading into Hall Ave. Hall Ave becomes Bridge St as it crosses the Menominee River headed into Menominee, MI.
