Highway 39 is also known as McCuen Street in the Gary–New Duluth neighborhood of Duluth.

Highway 39, together with Wisconsin Highway 105, are part of a 6 mi east–west connector between the city of Superior, WI, Oliver, and the Gary–New Duluth neighborhood of Duluth.

History
Highway 39 was authorized on April 12, 1943.
From 1958 to 1973, Highway 39 had continued farther west, extending over present-day State Highway 210 through Jay Cooke State Park to then-U.S. Highway 61 (now State Highway 45) at Carlton.
The road deck on the Highway 39 / Highway 105 Oliver Bridge was originally a wooden deck. Modernization came in the year 2000 when both states' DOT (WisDOT and MnDOT) cooperated with the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway to jointly fund a reconstruction of the roadway surface, which now features a stronger steel and reinforced concrete deck.
