State Trunk Highway 39 (often called Highway 39, STH 39 or WIS 39) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs in east–west across south central Wisconsin from Edmund to New Glarus.
WIS 39 is one of only two numbered state trunk highways, along with WIS 794, that share a number designation with an Interstate or Federal/US highway within the state's borders. Wisconsin Department of Transportation policy prohibited dual designations within the state trunk highway system, prior to the commissioning of I-39 in 1992.
WIS 39 begins at the intersection of US Highway 18, less than a quarter of a mile (roughly 200 meters) from the unincorporated community of Edmund, Wisconsin. Heading south, it heads into the village of Linden where it is known as Franklin Street.
In the center of Linden, WIS 39 heads southeast on Main Street out of town, through the hills of Southwestern Wisconsin, crossing under US Highway 151 outside of Mineral Point.
Entering Mineral Point on Fountain Street, it passes the entrance to the Iowa County Fairgrounds to Dodge Street, where it heads north with Business Route US 151 around the downtown area. At the north side of the city, WIS 39 turns south with WIS 23 down Commerce Street.
