Interstate
35 northbound begins at an
intersection (controlled by a stoplight) with Business
Spur i35 in
Laredo, Texas, just north of the Rio Grande
and the international border with Mexico. Through Webb,
La Salle, and Frio Counties, it has a mostly
north-northeastern course, turning more northeastly
around Moore. It then cuts across the corners of Medina
and Atascosa Counties before entering Bexar County and
San Antonio. |

Interstate
35 is named the Pan Am Expressway
in San Antonio. There, it has brief concurrencies with
both i10 and i410, and it serves as the northern
terminus of i37. Interstate
35 heads northward out of the city
towards the state capital, Austin, Texas. |
|
In Austin, i35 is the Interregional
Highway. Throughout Austin, elevated express lanes were
constructed on either side of the original freeway.
Prior to this expansion, this section included an
at-grade railroad crossing, which is extremely unusual
for a freeway. From Austin, i35 goes through Round Rock,
Temple, and Waco. In Waco, i35 is the Jack Kultgen
Freeway. The campuses of the University of Texas and
Baylor University are located adjacent to i35. |

Interstate
35 then heads to Hillsboro, where
it splits up into i35W and i35E and runs through the
Dallas/Fort Worth area. The official mile markers follow
i35E through Dallas—i35W, which is 85 miles in length,
carries its own mileage from Hillsboro to Denton, as
though it were an x35 loop. In Dallas, i35 is the R.L.
Thornton Freeway south of i30, which picks up the name
heading east. North of i30, it is the Stemmons Freeway. |
|
After passing through Dallas and
Fort Worth, i35's two forks merge in Denton. The unified
interstate then continues north to Gainesville before
crossing the Red River into Oklahoma. |
