Route description
Starting at its western terminus, WIS 189 traveled eastward from WIS 36/WIS 83. Continuing east, it shortly ended at WIS 20 east of Rochester.[2]
History
In 1947, WIS 189 was formed as a result of WIS 20 being diverted and extended west. It traveled between WIS 36/WIS 83 and WIS 20 at a short distance.[2] During its existence, no significant changes were made.[4] By 1969, the route became decommissioned.[3] Today, the former route is now part of CTH-D.[5]
