State Trunk Highway 58 (often called Highway 58, STH-58 or WIS58) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs north–south in southwest Wisconsin from the Necedah to Richland Center.

Route description

WIS58 starts at the junction with US14 in between Richland Center and Sextonville. The highway then meanders north, passing through Aubrey, Ithaca, and Neptune. North of Neptune, it intersects WIS154. Continuing north, it passes through Loyd, Cazenovia, Ironton, and La Valle. In La Valle, it runs concurrently with WIS 33. In Mauston, WIS58 then runs concurrently with WIS 82, intersects US Highway 12/WIS 16 (US12/WIS16) and then leaves the concurrency. WIS58 crosses over I-90/I-94 without an interchange; the Interstate can be reached via WIS82 to the east. Just west of the Yellow River, the highway ends at WIS 80 south of Necedah.

History

Initially, WIS58 ran from WIS11 (now US 14) in Sextonville to WIS 33 in La Valle. In 1923, WIS58 extended northward to WIS12/WIS29 (now US12/WIS16) in Mauston. That same year, its southern terminus moved slightly to the west, avoiding Sextonville. In 1994, another significant change was made. This time, it was extended northward to WIS80 south of Necedah, superseding County Trunk Highway Q (CTH-Q).
