The principal towns on the Copper Island end of Keweenaw Peninsula are Hancock and Calumet. The area is connected to the rest of the Upper Peninsula by the Portage Lake Lift Bridge, the latest in a series of bridges between Hancock and Houghton. The bridge crosses the Portage Canal.
US 41 crosses this bridge. It enters Michigan at Menominee and goes north to it terminus just east of Copper Harbor at the far eastern tip of the peninsula.
