Notes

• I-35 splits up into I-35W and I-35E in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area. The official mile markers follow I-35E through Dallas -- I-35W carries its own milage from Hillsboro to Denton, as though it were an x35 loop.

• I-135, which branches off in Wichita, Kansas, is 95 miles long. It carried the designation I-35W until the 1980s, despite never rejoining the main line of I-35. It terminates in Salina, Kansas at the intersection with Interstate 70 (though the controlled-access freeway continues north as US 81).

• I-35 and I-335 in Kansas are toll roads.

• I-35 splits again into I-35W and I-35E in the Minneapolis/St Paul, Minnesota area.
