State Trunk Highway 143 (often called Highway 143, STH-143 or WIS 143) was a 7.5-mile (12.1 km) state highway in Washington and Ozaukee counties in Wisconsin, United States, that ran east–west between south of West Bend and Cedarburg.
History
[edit]Initially, in 1923, WIS 143 ran along Washington Avenue from WIS 57 (now Columbia Road) in Cedarburg to WIS 60 northwest of Cedarburg.[1][2] Nothing significant had changed to the routing until 1947. At that point, WIS 143 was extended northwest to US 45/WIS 55 (now CTH-P) in the middle of Jackson and West Bend, superseding CTH-N in the process.[3][4] By 1987, WIS 143 extended westward along present-day CTH-P and CTH-PV after US 45 was rerouted westward onto a bypass.[5][6]
Prior to 1997, the Ozaukee County section of the highway was turned over to the county and Cedarburg (replaced by CTH-NN outside of Cedarburg), leaving the section in Washington County.[7][8] The rest of the road was turned over to local control in 1997, and is now designated as multiple county highways.[9][10][11]
