State Trunk Highway 142 (STH-142, commonly known as Highway 142 or WIS 142) is a mostly rural highway connecting Burlington with Kenosha.

Prior to the commissioning of Interstate 43 in the early 1970s, the current route of WIS 142 was designated as State Trunk Highway 43 (WIS 43). The route number was changed in accordance to then-Wisconsin Department of Transportation policy, which prohibits duplicate numbers between state and US/Interstate highways within Wisconsin.

When the road was recently rebuilt, the state department of transportation incorporated a new feature they are testing called centerline rumble strips.

The highway's eastern terminus with Interstate 94 has been called "Wisconsin's most visible cheese interchange" by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The intersection had three cheese shops until 2009 and still has two; the oldest, Mars Cheese Castle, has been at the intersection since 1947.^[2]
