Interstate 35E (abbreviated I-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.
The speed limit is 75 mph on both I-35 E and I-35 W only in Hill County, and 65 mph or lower elsewhere.
Route description
Concurrent routes
U.S. Highway 67
Interstate 35E runs concurrent with U.S. Highway 67 from just north of Kiest Boulevard in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas to the Interstate 30 interchange in downtown Dallas. From there, U.S. Highway 67 joins with Interstate 30. On both segments, U.S. Highway 67 is not signed.
U.S. Highway 77
From Waco, Texas to El Dorado, Kansas, Interstate 35 (or Interstate 35E) typically runs concurrent with, or lies fairly close to, U.S. Highway 77. US 77 runs parallel to I-35E after splitting off of Interstate 35 north of Hillsboro, running through Italy and Milford. It joins with I-35E for less than a mile just south of Waxahachie, before splitting back off to run through Waxahachie. It rejoins the interstate just north of a junction with State Highway 342 in Red Oak. US 77 stays with the interstate through Dallas and up to the southeastern section of Denton. US 77 then breaks off, rejoining I-35 north of the city. Except for the spur sections (Denton and the section between Red Oak and Hillsboro), U.S. Highway 77 is not signed.
From the Dallas–Ellis county line to Denton
From the Dallas–Ellis County line to downtown Dallas, I-35E is called South R.L. Thornton Freeway and varies from eight to ten lanes plus HOV. The section from I-20 to Downtown Dallas will be undergoing a major reconstruction by 2015 to 12 lanes. Reconstruction of I-35E and the downtown Mixmaster interchange with I-30 is planned as part of the Horseshoe project,[2] derived from the larger Pegasus Project.[3][4] From this point I-35E is named the Stemmons Freeway to Lewisville. This section will undergo reconstruction in three phases. The first, a widening of I-35E from I-635 to Denton, will start in late 2011 to over 16 lanes. The second, the LBJ Project, will include elevated toll I-35E lanes by 2016. Last is the major reconstruction of Stemmons Freeway (I-35E) from downtown Dallas to I-635 to over 20 lanes by 2020.
