Route Description
Highway 312 begins at an interchange with Interstate 94 (Exit 59) in the town of Union. It heads east for about 0.4 miles to an intersection with U.S. Highway 12. East of this junction, U.S. 12 and Highway 312 overlap for 2.6 miles past the Wild Ridge and Mill Run golf courses to the northwestern limits of the City of Eau Claire. The two routes split at a diamond interchange, with U.S. 12 heading south on North Clairmont Avenue and Highway 312 continuing east as the North Crossing. Highway 312 travels another 2.4 miles through the northern edge of Eau Claire, crossing over a set of railroad tracks, before reaching the bridge over the Chippewa River. After crossing the river, Highway 312 passes under more railroad tracks and comes to an interchange with North Hastings Way, a former alignment of U.S. Highway 53. About 1.3 miles east of the North Hastings Way junction, Highway 312 comes to an end at an interchange with U.S. 53 at Exit 90 just outside Eau Claire in the town of Seymour.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The great object in life is Sensation—to feel that we exist, even though in pain; it is this “craving void” which drives us to gaming, to battle, to travel, to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
