State Trunk Highway 312 (often called Highway 312, STH-312 or WIS 312) is a 7.9-mile (12.7 km) long Wisconsin state highway running along the north side of Eau Claire, from the Town of Union in the west to the Town of Seymour in the east. The entire length of WIS 312 is an expressway with a few grade crossings.
The highway is a major transit route, bypassing the north side of Eau Claire by connecting Interstate 94 (I-94) with U.S. Highway 53 (US 53). The route number is derived as a spur route of US 12. WIS 312 is called the North Crossing in the Chippewa Valley.
