OKRoads.com -- Fields Trip -- Interstate 135 Kansas

One of the longest three-digit interstates in the country is Interstate 135 in Kansas. Formerly known as Interstate 35W, Interstate 135 spans 96 miles and connects Interstate 35/Kansas Turnpike in Wichita to Interstate 70 in Salina. U.S. 81 is co-signed with the interstate for almost all of its distance, with the exception of the stretch between the turnpike and the first exit of Interstate 135. On Day One of the Fields Trip, I drove all of Interstate 135.
