From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Interstate 535 (I-535) is a 2.8 mile-long Interstate Highway spur route of Interstate 35 in Minnesota and Wisconsin, USA. It is paired with U.S. 53 along its entire route.

The highway is part of the Falls-to-Falls Corridor, a federally-recognized trade corridor spanning from Eau Claire/Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin to International Falls, Minnesota/Fort Frances, Ontario.

Route Description

[edit]

I-535 begins in Superior, Wisconsin at the junction of U.S. 53 and Wisc. Highway 35 and continues northwest across the John Blatnik Bridge over the Saint Louis Bay of Lake Superior, ending at the junction of U.S. 53 and I-35 in Duluth, Minnesota, also known locally as the "Can of Worms" and features a pair of left exits from I-35, a stoplight, and lane drops over the I-35 bridge.[1]

I-535 is the shortest Interstate in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. Also, there is only one true exit along its route, Garfield Avenue/Port Terminal in Duluth. It also is the only Interstate in the two states with no exit numbers. I-535 in Wisconsin is one of the few instances in the United States of a three-digit interstate entering a state that its parent two-digit interstate does not enter. Other examples include Interstate 275 near Cincinnati, Ohio, Interstate 287, and Interstate 129.
