State Trunk Highway 80 (abbreviated as Highway 80, STH 80 or WIS 80) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs north–south in southwest and west central Wisconsin from just south of Marshfield, near the geographic center of the state to the Illinois border near Hazel Green.
Highway 80 begins at a roundabout with U.S. Highway 10 just south of Marshfield, running south through the farmlands of Wood County before combining with Wisconsin Highway 73 and heading east for 2.5 miles to Pittsville, where it turns south through town and comes within a few hundred yards of the geographic center of the state. South from Pittsville, the terrain is flat as Highway 80 passes along the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, through the center of Necedah, and into New Lisbon just past the junction with I-90/94. South of New Lisbon, it enters the Driftless Area with many rolling hills and curves. Highway 80 meets up with Highway 82 heading into Elroy, southern trailhead of the Elroy-Sparta Trail, and then to Union Center where Highway 33 also joins for the ride into Hillsboro. At Hillsboro, Highways 33 and 82 head west and Highway 80 continues south into Richland County, through Hub City and into Richland Center, birthplace of Frank Lloyd Wright and also .
