History

Template:Infobox road small Construction on the Canal Route portion of I-135 (in Wichita, where the Chisholm Creek Canal runs through the median of the highway) was begun in 1971.[3] This portion of the route took eight years to complete with a cost of $32 million (equivalent to $Template:Formatprice in Template:Inflation/year[4]).[3] It was built through the middle of the city's African-American neighborhood, known as McAdams.[5]

Until September 13, 1976, I-135 was signed as Interstate 35W (I-35W). The Interstate's full length was completed in December 1979.[6]

In 2021, work began to rebuild the northern junction with I-235 in Wichita.[7] A two-lane flyover ramp connecting northbound I-135 to southbound I-235 which replaced the previous one-lane loop ramp opened on May 31, 2023.[8]
