State Trunk Highway 173 (often called Highway 173, STH 173 or WIS 173) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs north–south in central Wisconsin from near Wyeville to Nekoosa. From Valley Junction to Babcock it is built on top of an abandoned former main line of the Wisconsin Valley Railroad (later the Milwaukee Road). Because of this, it is very straight. Highway 173 travels through wetlands of central Wisconsin.[2]
