State Trunk Highway 30 (often called Highway 30, STH 30 or WIS 30) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs east-west in suburban Madison as a connector freeway. This section is all that remains of the highway that stood as of 1964 after I-94 was commissioned. This is the second alignment of the route number - the first beginning in Platteville and ending in Readstown.
[edit] History
From 1924 until the completion of I-94 between Madison and Milwaukee, WIS 30 ran from the Wisconsin state capitol to Wisconsin Avenue in downtown Milwaukee, along with WIS 19. The route of WIS 30 had several different alignments during that time, all which generally parallel the current routing of I-94.
WIS 30 was the main route between the two largest cities in the state until I-94's completion in the late 1960s.
