U.S. Route 2 Business Route or BUS US 2 is a 1.270-mile (2.044 km) business route that runs from the Wisconsin state line at the Montreal River. The route extends through downtown Ironwood on Silver and Aurora streets before turning northward along Suffolk Street, crossing a Canadian National Railway line. On Frederick Street, BUS US 2 remains parallel to the railway and bears north through a residential area along Douglas Street. The eastern terminus of the route is at its junction with US 2 at the corner of Cloverland Drive and Douglas Street north of downtown.
The business route was created by 1945 when former M‑54 in Ironwood was renumbered as a business loop of US 2. It was originally a bi-state business connection before the Wisconsin Department of Transportation decommissioned BUS US 2 in Hurley westward along State Trunk Highway 77 and northward along US 51 in 2002.
