Editing U.S. Route 8 (section)

=== St. Croix Falls to Rhinelander ===
US&nbsp;8 enters [[Polk County, Wisconsin|Polk County]] at [[St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin|St. Croix Falls]] as a multilane roadway. It joins [[Wisconsin Highway 35|State Trunk Highway&nbsp;35]] (WIS&nbsp;35) at a [[diamond interchange]] located approximately {{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}} from the state line. The two highways run concurrently for {{convert|4|mi|km|spell=in}} before WIS&nbsp;35 turns off to the north at a location in the [[St. Croix Falls (town), Wisconsin|Town of St. Croix Falls]] west of Deer Lake. US&nbsp;8 continues eastward through forest lands, and [[Wisconsin Highway 46|WIS&nbsp;46]] joins from the north for a {{convert|4|mi|km|adj=on|spell=in}} concurrency before splitting off to the south. Continuing eastward, US&nbsp;8 passes through [[Range, Wisconsin|Range]] and crosses into [[Barron County, Wisconsin|Barron County]] at [[Turtle Lake, Wisconsin|Turtle Lake]]. [[U.S. Route 63 in Wisconsin|US&nbsp;63]] merges from the south near Turtle Lake and departs to the north in the downtown area. The roadway passes through [[Poskin, Wisconsin|Poskin]] and intersects [[Wisconsin Highway 25|WIS&nbsp;25]] in [[Barron, Wisconsin|Barron]]. East of Barron, US&nbsp;8 meets [[U.S. Route 53 in Wisconsin|US&nbsp;53]] at a mixed diamond/cloverleaf interchange and turns north into [[Cameron, Barron County, Wisconsin|Cameron]], then turns east in downtown to leave the latter community. After a {{convert|9|mi|km|adj=on|spell=in}} straightaway, the highway crosses into [[Rusk County, Wisconsin|Rusk County]], and then it continues due east for an additional {{convert|5|mi|km|spell=in}} before turning northeast and passing through [[Weyerhaeuser, Wisconsin|Weyerhaeuser]]. Continuing northeasterly, the roadway crosses [[Wisconsin Highway 40|WIS&nbsp;40]] in [[Bruce, Wisconsin|Bruce]]. East of town, the highway continues through rural Rusk County, and US&nbsp;8 meets [[Wisconsin Highway 27|WIS&nbsp;27]] in downtown [[Ladysmith, Wisconsin|Ladysmith]].<ref name=WisDOT13-14>{{cite WisDOT map |year= 2013 |sections= B4–I4  }}</ref><ref name="googleWI">{{cite map |author = ((Google)) |date = May 11, 2010 |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=St.+Croix+Falls,+WI&daddr=45.394111,-91.766052+to:Norway,+MI&hl=en&geocode=FXTutAIdPHF6-imBMQ8CuJqyUjG8B8fgo5LXrw%3B%3BFRanugIdCLLC-ikbWmJ1MkRSTTEVIzEB8ryA-w&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=12&via=1&sll=45.385431,-91.761932&sspn=0.227865,0.256462&ie=UTF8&ll=45.383019,-90.252686&spn=7.291624,8.206787&t=h&z=7 |title=Overview Map of US&nbsp;8 in Wisconsin |website = Google Maps |publisher = Google |access-date=May 11, 2010 }}</ref>

Upon leaving Ladysmith, US&nbsp;8 passes through the communities of [[Tony, Wisconsin|Tony]], [[Glen Flora, Wisconsin|Glen Flora]], [[Ingram, Wisconsin|Ingram]] (where it meets the northern terminus of [[Wisconsin Highway 73|WIS&nbsp;73]]) and [[Hawkins, Wisconsin|Hawkins]] on its way out of Rusk County. In [[Price County, Wisconsin|Price County]], US&nbsp;8 passes through [[Kennan, Wisconsin|Kennan]] and [[Catawba, Wisconsin|Catawba]]. [[Wisconsin Highway 111|WIS&nbsp;111]] terminates at its south end on US&nbsp;8 just east of Catawba. US&nbsp;8 meets [[Wisconsin Highway 13|WIS&nbsp;13]] at a diamond interchange northwest of [[Prentice, Wisconsin|Prentice]] and passes north of the city. The highway passes through [[Brantwood, Wisconsin|Brantwood]] and enters [[Lincoln County, Wisconsin|Lincoln County]] at [[Clifford, Wisconsin|Clifford]]. Further east,  US&nbsp;8 crosses [[Tripoli, Wisconsin|Tripoli]] and [[McCord, Wisconsin|McCord]] and runs north of [[Tomahawk, Wisconsin|Tomahawk]] as it passes through the Lake Nokomis area. [[U.S. Route 51 in Wisconsin|US&nbsp;51]] crosses US&nbsp;8 northeast of Tomahawk. US&nbsp;8 turns northeast into [[Oneida County, Wisconsin|Oneida County]] and onto a forested twisting northeasterly alignment. For much of this segment the highway follows the [[Soo Line Railroad]]. The highway passes through [[Woodboro, Wisconsin|Woodboro]] and passes several lakes. A few miles before Rhinelander, the highway expands to a divided highway into Rhinelander. During this stretch, the highway has an exempt railroad crossing with only crossbucks. It merges with [[Wisconsin Highway 47|WIS&nbsp;47]] at a roundabout on the southwest side of [[Rhinelander, Wisconsin|Rhinelander]]. [[Wisconsin Highway 17|WIS&nbsp;17]] north joins the highways {{convert|1/2|mi|km|spell=in}} to the southeast, creating a [[wrong-way concurrency]] with WIS&nbsp;47; along this section of highway, eastbound US&nbsp;8 is also southbound WIS&nbsp;47 and northbound WIS&nbsp;17 and vice versa. WIS&nbsp;17 turns to the north {{convert|2|mi|km|spell=in}} southeast of there, and US&nbsp;8 and WIS&nbsp;47 head eastbound out of the Rhinelander area.<ref name=WisDOT13-14/><ref name="googleWI"/>
