Interstate 35E (Texas)
Encyclopedia
Interstate 35E an Interstate Highway, is the eastern half of Interstate 35 where it splits to serve different cities in Texas
. I-35 splits into two branch routes, I-35W
and I-35E at Hillsboro
. I-35E runs north for 97 miles (156 km), maintaining I-35's sequence of exit numbers. It runs through Dallas before rejoining with I-35W to reform I-35 in Denton
. This is one of two pairs of suffixed Interstates that has not been eliminated; I-35 also splits into I-35W and I-35E in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota.
Historically, other interstates were given directional suffixes. On every other interstate, the directional suffixes were phased out by giving the route a loop or spur designation, or in some cases were assigned a different route number (see Interstate 76
). In the case of I-35, since both branches return to a unified interstate beyond the twin cities of Dallas and Fort Worth
, the AASHTO committees allowed the suffixes to remain.
