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:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
