^Wisconsin 83 continues north from the point where it crosses Wisconsin 36, and it picks up a concurrency with Wisconsin 20, October 2022.
Wisconsin Highway 83 is a north-south highway running for about 65 miles in southeastern Wisconsin. It begins north of Hartford by splitting from Wisconsin Highway 175, which parallels Interstate 41. Predictably, Wisconsin Highway 83's first goal on its southward journey is to head to Hartford. Highway 83 moves through Hartford and then goes to Hartland, a similarly-named town along Wisconsin Highway 16. Next, Highway 83 continues south past Interstate 94 west of Waukesha. It crosses US Route 18 near Wales, on its way to Mukwonago, where it meets Interstate 43. At Mukwonago, Wisconsin Highway 83 bends southeastward to Waterford, where it joins Wisconsin Highway 36 southwest to Burlington. The rest of Wisconsin Highway 83 splits from Wisconsin Highway 36 to go south, turns east along Wisconsin Highway 50, and turns south to become Illinois Route 83 at the state line.
My photo of a route marker for Wisconsin Highway 83 comes from a set of guide markers for westbound traffic at an intersection in Waterford. At this intersection, Wisconsin Highway 83 comes from the south and turns northwestward. This photo looks northwestward, and traffic approaching the intersection aimed toward the northwest will see how this signage shows Wisconsin Highway 36 crossing from left to right. This photo was taken in November 2023 as I toured around southeastern Wisconsin. Back to the Wisconsin main page. Back to the home page.
