OKRoads.com -- Minnesota Highway Guides -- Interstate 35

Minnesota is the final state one sees on Interstate 35 North. The highway is 260 miles long in the state. It splits into two segments through Minneapolis and St. Paul, with Interstate 35W serving Minneapolis and Interstate 35E serving St. Paul. Besides its sections in the Twin Cities, there isn't too much else along Interstate 35 in Minnesota.
