Exit Guide
History
On September 13, 1976, the interstate formerly designated as I-35W was re-designated as I-135 as part of an effort to eliminate ‘split’ designations on the Interstate Highway System. At the time of the redesignation, the only segment that had not been completed was the “Canal Route” from Pawnee Street to 21st Street in Wichita. This Final Segment was opened to traffic on December 20, 1979.
