In the state of Kansas, '''Interstate 35''' runs mainly in a southwest to northeast direction across Kansas. It enters at the Oklahoma border into [[Sumner County, Kansas|Sumner County]] as part of the [[Kansas Turnpike]]. It then continues north to [[Wichita, Kansas|Wichita]] before turning northeast. It serves the communites of [[Andover, Kansas|Andover]], [[El Dorado, Kansas|El Dorado]], and [[Cassoday, Kansas|Cassoday]] before crossing the [[Flint Hills]]. At [[Emporia, Kansas|Emporia]], I-35 leaves the Turnpike and heads east on its own alignment to [[Ottawa, Kansas|Ottawa]] before turning northeast toward the Kansas suburbs of the [[Kansas City Metro Area]].
The section of I-35 that is part of the Kansas Turnpike is the only tolled section of I-35.
==Route Description==
''See also: [[Kansas Turnpike]]''
Interstate 35 enters the state of Kansas from [[Kay County, Oklahoma]] into [[Sumner County, Kansas|Sumner County]]. It is immediately signed as part of the [[Kansas Turnpike]], but the southern terminal of the tolled portion does not begin until after the first interchange with [[US-166]] in [[South Haven, Kansas|South Haven]]. For the first forty-two miles, I-35 generally follows a course due north.
At the South Wichita exit (#42) with [[Interstate 135]], [[Interstate 235]] and [[US-81]], I-35/KTA makes a sharp curve toward the northeast and runs parallel to the southeastern city limits of [[Wichita, Kansas|Wichita]]. It has four interchanges in Wichita before leaving the city.
Northeast of Wichita, I-35/KTA passes by the communities of [[Andover, Kansas|Andover]], [[El Dorado, Kansas|El Dorado]], and [[Cassoday, Kansas|Cassoday]]. After passsing by the Cassoday exit with [[K-177 (Kansas highway)|K-177]], I-35/KTA goes thirty-five miles without an interchange as it passes through the [[Flint Hills]] of [[Chase County, Kansas|Chase County]].
At [[Emporia, Kansas|Emporia]], I-35 separates from the Turnpike and heads east on its own alignment through Emporia. The Turnpike continues to the northeast bound for [[Topeka, Kansas|Topeka]] signed as Interstate 335, a 50-mile spur route of I-35. I-35 heads due east through the heart of Emporia. At the eastern edge of town, I-35 begins a long concurrency with [[US-50]] that will not end until meeting [[Interstate 435]] in [[Lenexa, Kansas|Lenexa]].
I-35/US-50 heads east across east-central Kansas, passing through some of the smaller communities of the area. At BETO Junction, it meets [[US-75]]. The junction is known as BETO junction because heading in any direction from this town takes a motorist to an important Kansas town (south to [[Burlington, Kansas|'''B'''urlington]], west to [[Emporia, Kansas|'''E'''mporia]], north to [[Topeka, Kansas|'''T'''opeka]] and east to [[Ottawa, Kansas|'''O'''ttawa]]). It also has a brief [[wrong-way concurrency]] with [[K-31 (Kansas highway|K-31]] in extreme southeastern [[Osage County, Kansas|Osage County]].
Once the highway enters [[Franklin County, Kansas|Franklin County]], it turns in a more northeasterly direction. It passes around the southern and eastern sides of [[Ottawa, Kansas|Ottawa]], and [[US-59]] joins the highway for a five-mile concurrency before leaving at Exit 188 toward [[Lawrence, Kansas|Lawrence]] on a newly built freeway that was fully opened in October 2012.
I-35/US-50 continues northeastward into the Kansas suburbs of the [[Kansas City Metro Area]]; and as it passes through [[Johnson County, Kansas|Johnson]] and [[Wyandotte County, Kansas|Wyandotte]] counties, it shares concurrencies with other area highways, such as [[US-56]], [[US-169]] and [[US-69]]. Its concurrency with [[US-50]] ends in [[Lenexa, Kansas|Lenexa]] at the junction with the [[Interstate 435|I-435 beltway]], when US-50 heads east duplexed with I-435. In [[Overland Park, Kansas|Overland Park]], it forms the southern terminus of another child route, the [[Interstate 635 (Kansas-Missouri)|I-635 bypass]]. It also passes by other major Kansas City streets, such as the [[18th Street Expressway]] and the [[7th Street Trafficway]].
I-35 exits Kansas into Missouri after the Eaton Street exit, before heading toward the financial district of Downtown [[Kansas City, Missouri]].
==History==
The portion of I-35 that forms the Kansas Turnpike predates the Interstate system. It was constructed from 1954-1956 and was opened in the fall of 1956. When the Interstate System was established in 1957, the Turnpike was [[grandfathered]] into the Interstate system, and the section of the Turnpike from the Oklahoma state line to Emporia was signed as I-35.
AASHTO approved the route for I-35 in 1957. The Kansas portion of I-35 was completed in its entirety in 1974 when the portion of I-35 in Emporia was completed.[http://www.interstate-guide.com/i-035.html]
