Interstate 535 (abbreviated 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. Highway 53 along its entire route.

I-535 begins at the junction of Interstate 35 and US Highway 53 in Duluth, Minnesota and continues across the John A. Blatnik Bridge over the Saint Louis Bay of Lake Superior, ending in Superior, Wisconsin at the junction of Highway 35 and U.S. Highway 53.

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.

[edit] Notes

• This is the shortest interstate highway in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. Also, there is only one true exit along its route, Garfield Ave/Port Terminal in Duluth. It also is the only Interstate in the two states with no exit numbers.

• The interchange with I-35 and U.S. 53 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

• Interstate 535 in Wisconsin is one of only three instances in the United States of a three-digit interstate entering a state which its parent two-digit interstate does not enter. The other examples are I-275 which travels through Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky (I-75 does not enter Indiana) and I-238 in California (there is no I-38).
