State Trunk Highway 172

Serving the Green Bay area, Wis 172 originates as a rural two lane route in the village of Hobart. Traveling east from a roundabout with Wis 54 and County E at Oneida, Wis 172 heads to Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB), where it expands into a four lane expressway. East from Packerland Drive (County EB), Wis 172 runs through residential areas of Ashwaubenon to a directional cloverleaf interchange with Interstate 41 (U.S. 41).
