State Trunk Highway 173 (often called Highway 173, STH-173 or WIS 173) is a 36.85-mile (59.30 km) state highway in Monroe, Juneau, and Wood counties in the central region of the US state of Wisconsin that runs north–south from near Wyeville to Nekoosa. From Valley Junction to Babcock it is built on top of an abandoned former main line of the Wisconsin Valley Railroad (later the Milwaukee Road). Because of this, the highway along this section is very straight.
