Notes

★ This is the shortest interstate highway 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.

★ The I-535 / I-35 / U.S. 53 interchange in Duluth is 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. Map and aerial photo

★ I-535 in Wisconsin is one of the few instances in the United States of a three-digit interstate entering a state which its parent two-digit interstate does not enter. Other examples include I-275 which travels through Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky (I-75 does not enter Indiana) and I-287 which travels through New York and New Jersey (I-87 does not enter New Jersey).
