Interstate 35 (I-35) is a north–south Interstate Highway in the United States that stretches from Laredo, Texas, to Duluth, Minnesota. In Minnesota, the route travels from south to north and terminates after slightly deflecting to the east near the state line with Wisconsin. The highway enters the state near Albert Lea from Iowa and intersects I-90 shortly after. Passing through Owatonna, I-35 continues north nearing the twin cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
