[edit] Route description

Interstate 335 runs from a junction with Interstate 35 in Emporia to a junction with Interstate 470 in Topeka. The highway exists entirely as a part of the Kansas Turnpike.

[edit] History

This stretch of the Turnpike was for 31 years (from the opening of the Kansas Turnpike in 1956 until 1987) designated solely as the Kansas Turnpike without an interstate number. It was only after a change in the speed limit laws, at which time state legislators were given the authority to raise the speed limits on rural interstate highways, that this segment of the Kansas Turnpike was given an interstate designation, I-335, so that it could fall under the new law.^[2]
