Wisconsin Highway 70

State Trunk Highway 70 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs east–west in northern Wisconsin from a shared terminus with WIS 101 at US Highway 2 (US 2) and US 141 near Florence to a connection with Minnesota State Highway 70 (MN 70) at the St. Croix River five miles (8.0 km) west of Grantsburg in Burnett County. It serves the communities of Grantsburg, Siren, Spooner, and the resort areas of Minocqua, Woodruff and Eagle River along its route. WIS 70 is the third-most northern route to almost completely cross Wisconsin, stretching from Minnesota to within four miles (6.4 km) of the Michigan border.

Route description
The highway begins at a bridge over the St. Croix River as a continuation of MN 70, running east from it. At Grantsburg, the highway intersects WIS 87/WIS 48. The highway continues east from there, curving slightly south to avoid Mud Hen Lake before running northeast to meet WIS 35 in Siren. It then runs concurrently with WIS 35, running north from Siren before leaving the concurrency at a roundabout. The highway then runs east, passing through intersections with County Trunk Highway X (CTH-X), CTH-H, and CTH-O. It then passes through an intersection with US 63 in Spooner and an interchange with US 53 east of Spooner. In Woodruff, the highway intersects WIS 47 and leaves the US 51 concurrency in Arbor Vitae, Wisconsin. It then runs east, intersecting with WIS 155 before following the Wisconsin River to Eagle River, where it runs concurrently with US 45. It then enters the Headwaters Wilderness, intersecting WIS 55 and running concurrently with WIS 139 within it. After exiting the wilderness, the highway continues east, intersecting and running concurrently with WIS 101 before terminating at US 2 in Florence. ==History==
History
In 1914, much of the current route was unbuilt, though a section between Woodruff and Eagle River and a section east of Grantsburg had been constructed. In 1917, a short stub connecting WIS 35 to Grantsburg was assumed and designated as WIS 70. By the early 1920s, the highway had been extended east to WIS 32 (by 1935 part of US 45 Throughout the 1920s and into the 1930s, the highway was the same and continued to be unpaved along the entire route. In 1931, the highway was extended west to a toll bridge over the St. Croix River. In 1934, a section of the highway northeast of Eagle River was designated. In 1935, the highway was paved in some sections. Between 1948 and 1956, the highway was extended east to Florence and the original section northeast of Eagle River had been redesignated as part of WIS 17. ==Major intersections==
