State Trunk Highway 162 (often called Highway 162, STH-162 or WIS 162) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs in north–south in southwest Wisconsin from Stoddard to Four Corners.
Route description[]
The highway starts at its intersection with Highway 33 and Division Street in Stoddard and runs east along Coon Creek. After a concurrency with County Highway K, the highway goes through Chaseburg and continues northeast. The highway runs along a short concurrency with US 14 and US 61. This short concurrency is a wrong-way concurrency because WIS 162 and US 61 are signed in opposing directions throughout its length. Just west of Coon Valley, the wrong-way concurrency ends as the highway runs north from it. [2]

After 6.6 miles (10.6 km), the highway enters a concurrency Highway 33, which ends at Middle Ridge, which the highway runs north from. After its intersection with County Highway JB, the highway runs along Dutch Creek. It interchanges with I-90 before entering Bangor. After a short concurrency with County Highway B, the highway runs north from Bangor. It enters a short concurrency with Highway 16 before following Burns Creek. From the creek's end, the highway continues north until it terminates at Highway 71 in Four Corners.[2]
