Wisconsin Highway 166 (WIS 166) was a state highway in the Milwaukee metropolitan area in Wisconsin. The route traveled in a southeast–northwest direction from US 45/WIS 55 to WIS 74 in Menomonee Falls (now just Main Street). WIS 166 was removed in 1953 when US 41 moved over.
Starting at US 45/WIS 55 (now WIS 145), WIS 166 traveled northwest along Fond du Lac Avenue. After 2.1 miles (3.4 km), the route ended at WIS 74 (Main Street) in Menomonee Falls. [2] [1]
In 1926, WIS 55 moved north along WIS 155 to bypass Menomonee Falls; WIS 155 was subsequently removed and WIS 165 was formed along the northern part of the former alignment of WIS 55, located north of Menomonee Falls. [3] About a year after the realignment, WIS 166 was formed along the southern part of the same former alignment, located south of Menomonee Falls. [4] WIS 166 was removed in 1953 after US 41 moved north along a newly built divided highway, which was situated just north of WIS 166. [5] [6]
The entire route is in Menomonee Falls.
