Wisconsin notes

[US 12 fan]

If they decide to change that route and decide not to have a state or county highway there, it would be interesting to see what they do with Highway 113 and Highway 30 since they both end at Highway 151.

If it was made an unsigned state highway, it really wouldn't matter. Otherwise you could just run WI-30 down East Washington Avenue to end at First Street and the end of WI-113.

[WisJohn]

They should just re-route 113 down Aberg, and re-number 30 to 113, and end it at 39/90/94.

That'll work too.

Would take care of the "sacrifice one number for another" rule.  but then 113 exits off itself.

If US 151 is rerouted, but STH 113 still ends at the E. Washington Ave./First St. intersection, it would join state highways STHs 24/42/107/134/136/152, which all have one terminus that is not at a state highway, US Highway or Interstate Highway.

And WIS 122 (which ends at a state line but is not a Michigan highway on the other side)

It's amusing how much on both sides that state routes crossing the WI/MI line are only state highways on one side of the border.

And WIS 122 (which ends at a state line but is not a Michigan highway on the other side)

That's even supposed to be a Lake Superior Circle Tour loop, but it's only signed in Wisconsin, effectively making it a spur. It isn't difficult to get back to US 2 on the Michigan side, though.

[The Ghostbuster]

I was excluding highways that went to the state lines. I did forget 155 and 794.

Wis 30 isn't going anywhere. I doubt anything changes with Wis 113 in Madison.

It's just a wait and see game at this point with US 151. I'm sure the state wants E Washington Ave to stay a state highway to continue and collect connecting highway aid from the state.

I would hope that if S Park St becomes a city street part of the deal would be to reconstruct it. The stretch from Olin Ave to Wingra Dr is in awful shape and needs to be resurfaced.

[peterj920]

Drove Wis 29 over the weekend and it's 1 lane from Ringle to Bonduel, Owen to
Abbostford, and Wis 97 to Wis 107. Add Us 51/Wis 29 in Wausau and that's an extra large area for concrete repairs at once! The repairs are badly needed but I'm surprised it's all being done in one construction season. The County E ramps in Curtiss need complete replacement and are in awful shape.

I took Wis 10 back to avoid most of the construction on Wis 29 and there was one construction zone in Western Waupaca County. The concrete between Stevens Point and Winchester is next up for repairs. After all that building of expressways in the 90s and 2000s it looks like there's going to be a lot of concrete repairs on them for the next several years.

[Molandfreak]

It's refreshing to have a DOT doing these sorts of repairs all in one go rather than piecemeal staggering different sections on different years. I'll take that and then having the better part of a decade with no construction over routine construction each year.

WIS 107 and WIS 24 also say "Hi"

In those cases I have argued before just simply extend 24 to 164 and end it there problem solved. And in the case of 107 you could just have it turn left a little bit and end at 86. Again problem solved.

But these really aren't problems that need to be solved. There is nothing wrong with a state highway ending at a county road or wherever.

[The Ghostbuster]

Interestingly, STH 24 was truncated to the Milwaukee/Waukesha County Line at about the same time STH 164 was extended south to STH 36 (1987-1988 timeframe). The Rock Freeway was also renumbered from STH 15 to Interstate 43 around that time. While the first two were likely coordinated in conjunction, the third was likely just a coincidence.

nevermind.  Found my answer elsewhere.

24 doesn't even end at that just some random spot on the road.

And STH 120 was also extended to I-43 around the same time.

Which continues as a county road. So it ends at a county road.

It ends at the county line and becomes a county highway. Not exactly "random."

And again, what is wrong with that? Does it harm navigation in any way? I doubt most people who drive down that road even realize it's a state highway - it's just a suburban street.

[The Ghostbuster]

Maybe when STH 24 was truncated in the late 1980s, its western terminus could have been at US 45/STH 100, instead of the county line.
