Wisconsin Highway 64

Highway in Wisconsin

State Trunk Highway 64 (WIS 64) is a 275.65 mile (444 km) highway in Wisconsin, which runs from the St. Croix Crossing bridge as a continuation of Minnesota State Highway 36 (MN 36) near Stillwater, Minnesota, and continues east to its eastern terminus in downtown Marinette, where it terminates at US Highway 41 (US 41) at an intersection on the corner of Marinette and Hall Avenue. Along the way, Highway 64 runs east–west through eight counties across northern Wisconsin.

WIS 64 begins at the St. Croix Crossing bridge at the Wisconsin–Minnesota state line. The highway continues as a four–lane freeway bypassing Houlton for approximately a mile, before meeting and running concurrently with WIS 35 for 9 mile (14 km) until Somerset. WI 64 is a limited access freeway from 150th Avenue in Houlton until 85th Street and Raleigh Road in Somerset. Continuing east, the highway is an expressway with at grade intersections until 145th Street in New Richmond. From 145th Street on, the route is a two lane surface road. In Cylon, Wisconsin WIS 64 runs concurrently with US 63 from the US 63/WIS 46 (known locally as 'Four Corners') junction until 260th Street. WSI 64 winds through Dunn County, running through mostly rural areas and unincorporated towns. Approximately half way through its routing in the County, WIS 64 runs concurrently with Wisconsin Highway 25. After passing the Hay Creek Public Hunting Grounds, WIS 64 crosses the Red Cedar River before crossing into Chippewa County. Highway 64 continues east through Chippewa County, crossing US 53 at exit 112, just north of Bloomer. During the early 1920s, WIS 64 gradually extended westward all the way to Minnesota. Most parts of the route followed its present day alignment. In 1926, a part of WIS 64 from Mountain to Pound was rerouted northward. In August 2017, the westernmost part of WIS 64 moved southward in favor of moving from the old Stillwater Lift Bridge to the new St. Croix Crossing.
