Route description
edit
Starting at WIS 23, WIS 130 meanders northwestward and then northward, passing through Clyde. It joins with WIS 133 immediately before they cross the Wisconsin River. After crossing the river, the highways enter Lone Rock. Then, they intersect with US 14/WIS 60. At this point, WIS 133 ends while WIS 130 turns west to follow US 14. WIS 130 then turns north away from US 14 and meanders northward, passing through Bear Valley and Sandusky. The route ends at its intersection with WIS 154 north of Sandusky; the road continues north from there as part of CTH-G.[2]
History
editBeginning in 1923, WIS 130 was designated along half of its present-day route from WIS 23 to WIS 41 (previously and later WIS 11, now US 14)/WIS 60 north of Lone Rock.[3][4] Up until 1948, no significant changes were made to the routing. In 1948, WIS 130 was extended northward via CTH-J, CTH-N, and CTH-G.[5][6] In 1949, part of the WIS 130 extension was moved northwestward away from CTH-N and CTH-G.[6][7]
