State Trunk Highway 175 (often called Highway 175, STH 175 or WIS 175) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs north-south in central Wisconsin from in Milwaukee to near Fond du Lac.
The highway follows the former route of U.S. Highway 41 before 41's current route was created between 1953 and 1955.
[edit] Transfer to local control
The highway was shorted by 17.1 miles on January 1, 2007. The northern terminus was moved from U.S. Route 45 near Oshkosh to its present location near Fond du Lac. The portion in Winnebago County became County Highway R, and the portion in Fond du Lac County became County Highway RP. [2]
Numerous segments of the highway are marked for changing to local control, including segments in Washington County.
