Route description

WIS 82 begins on the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi River near Lansing, Iowa, on the Black Hawk Bridge. Its next junction with a highway is across the bridge at WIS 35. The highway then turns to the north, running concurrently with WIS 35. At De Soto, the highway turns away from the Mississippi River Basin, and heads northeasterly in general.

The next settlement is Viroqua, where it runs concurrently with US Highway 14 (US 14), US 61 and WIS 27. This ends at the traffic light with Decker Street, where the road turns east, concurrent with WIS 56. This concurrency ends approximately four miles (6.4 km) east of Viroqua.
