All photos are westbound.


Just off the ferry in Manitowoc (also known as Carferry according to signs), US 10 gets unisigns new and old at the beginning of US 151. Old signs come with their own antitheft warnings.


US 10 grabs onto a couple of routes and ends up in Appleton. The error in the last photo is "Miles" instead of "Mile." Subtle, but when you take 100,000 sign photos, things like this stand out.


Such descriptive signing for CTH CB. It seems to link the same two communities as many county routes intersecting freeways. Then, US 10 mistakenly turns north when it hits a north-south route.


County highways with "I" are supposed to always be serifed. The second, unrelated photo is another county highway, CTH F into Weyauwega, which, as you might guess, is old US 10 (and WIS 49) through the town.


A couple of other routes (and birds) decide that they want to avoid Waupaca, leading to this awkwardly wrong-way multiplex around town.


Around Amherst, starting at Otto Rd., to another North-South exit. CTH B now bypasses Amherst on US 10, hence the late addition of "East" to this sign; why bother bypassing town on a county route, though? That's the one kind of route you'd expect not to bypass something.


Across the Wisconsin River, with a look north, on a relatively new (2000s) freeway, so new that the signs haven't been completely sorted out yet. CTH P was patched over a US 10 shield when the freeway was extended beyond this point, but that begs the question why US 10 was signed here in the first place if the freeway ended anyway. CTH P took over this part of former US 10, but what this sign implies is that it was still US 10 at a point after the freeway opened, which doesn't jibe with common sense.


So, yeah, WIS 34 still followed the old road even after US 10 was extended because interchange construction staging temporarily closed the WB offramp at the southern WIS 34 interchange. (This is now also the WIS 13 interchange, with 13 NB continuing straight along US 10 WB.


WIS 34 NB, with a panel reserved for WIS 13 once US 10 is complete and 13 is rerouted along the new freeway.


Just beyond WIS 34, the US 10 freeway comes to an abrupt temporary end, with a materials plant perched above the future freeway. I'm assuming it's for concrete and not asphalt, considering that the lanes are concrete in both directions. It's rare to construct something like that on-site, but this is a huge job. Photos continue on the construction pages linked at bottom.


West of WIS 13. "Look at that beautiful sunset!" "Ooo!"


The well-maintained Pierce County Court House in Ellsworth.


Ending in Prescott, where US 10 crosses the Mississippi River into Minnesota alongside a railroad bridge. Unsurprisingly, even the Great River Road shields are part of one giant one-piece sign for all four routes.
