Interstate 235 (I-235) in Oklahoma is also known as the Centennial Expressway or the I-235 Central Expressway. The spur route of I-35 is a 5.4-mile-long (8.7 km) north–south alignment in central and north-central Oklahoma City. It connects northbound to U.S. Highway 77 (US-77) to suburban Edmond and southbound at I-44 on to I-35 and the I-40 Crosstown Expressway near downtown Oklahoma City. US-77 is concurrent with I-235 for the entire route. South of its junction with I-40, I-235 becomes I-35.

Route description

I-235 in Oklahoma City, concurrent with US-77

The northern end of I-235 at its interchange with I-44; the freeway, however, continues north into Edmond, Oklahoma, as US-77, also known as the Broadway Extension

I-235's route forms the eastern edge of Automobile Alley, the Deep Deuce residential neighborhood, and the Bricktown Entertainment District, all of which are in the eastern section of downtown Oklahoma City.

History

The I-235 designation was approved by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) on July 13, 1976. Only 3.66 miles (5.89 km) were complete in 1978. It finally opened in 1989.

I-235 in Oklahoma officially finished a major reconstruction in September 2008, which changed the section of I-235 between Northwest 50th Street, on the north end, and Northwest 23rd Street, on the south end. It added a third lane and an exit lane in each direction, changing the four-lane stretch into eight lanes.

Exit list

The entire route is in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County.
