Template:Cleanup-name Template:Infobox Wisconsin State Highway State Trunk Highway 16 (often called Highway 16, STH 16 or WIS 16) is a Wisconsin state highway running from Pewaukee across the state to La Crosse. Much of its route in the state parallels the former mainline of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (Milwaukee Road).

Formerly U.S. Highway 16, most of the highway was bypassed by Interstate 90 and Interstate 94 in the 1960's and 1970's. Highway 16 is 190.9 miles in length. Highway 16 is routed with several other US, state and county highways over a majority of its length.

Termini

The eastern end of the route is a limited-access freeway from Oconomowoc to its terminus at Interstate 94, near the Waukesha County Airport (also known as Crites Field). The first sign for Highway 16 West is on the long curve of the on-ramp from I-94.

The western terminus of the highway is at the Wisconsin-Minnesota border along the route of U.S. Highway 14 and U.S. Highway 61, just west of La Crosse. Minnesota State Highway 16 continues to the west from this point. The first sign for Highway 16 east in Wisconsin is on Pettibone Island, on the approach to the Cameron Avenue Bridge just outside of downtown La Crosse.

The Oconomowoc Bypass

The alignment of the eastern section of Highway 16 will be changed sometime in 2006 when the rest of the Oconomowoc bypass is completed. The four-lane, limited access divided highway will route Highway 16 around Lac La Belle on the west side of the city, meeting up with Highway 67 north of downtown. The bypass will remove the state highway designation from Wisconsin Avenue through downtown Oconomowoc.

The section of the bypass between Oconomowoc Lake and North Lake Road, three miles north of downtown, is already open and signed as Highway 67. Signs are already in place indicating the future routing of Highway 16.
