Former ferry crossing

Chicago freeway
US 12 was originally planned to be a freeway from Chicago, IL to Madison, WI. The portion from Genoa City, WI to Elkhorn, WI was already being built when the Interstate system was announced. After the Interstate program was announced, and due to that Wisconsin was not able to obtain some right-of-way land north of Elkhorn, construction was stopped. Since construction was stopped, Illinois never built any of it, but the rough grading and off-ramps are still there in Illinois. In Elkhorn the ramps also continue past the intersection where construction stopped but they are not used. Much of US 12 in Illinois is divided highway, but it is surface road.
