===Minnesota=== {{main|Interstate 35 in Minnesota}} {{see also|Interstate 35E (Minnesota)|Interstate 35W (Minnesota)}} [[File:N terminus I35.JPG|thumb|300px|left|I-35's northern terminus is at this intersection with London Road ([[Minnesota State Highway 61|MN 61]]) in [[Duluth, Minnesota|Duluth]], [[Minnesota]], with [[Lake Superior]] in the background.]] At [[Medford, Minnesota|Medford]], [[Minnesota]], the on- and offramps lead to [[roundabout]]s rather than standard cross intersections.<ref>{{cite magazine |author = Federal Highway Administration |publisher = Federal Highway Administration |url = https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/focus/04sep/05.cfm |magazine = Focus: Accelerating Infrastructure Innovations |title = Excellence in Highway Design 2004 |access-date = February 12, 2006 |date = September 2004 |volume = 21 |issue = 8 |id = FHWA-HRT-04-029 |issn = 1060-6637 |url-status = live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100610021917/http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/focus/04sep/05.cfm |archive-date = June 10, 2010 }}</ref> This is the first site in the state linked to a major highway to use roundabouts. I-35 splits again into [[Interstate 35W (Minnesota)|I-35W]] and [[Interstate 35E (Minnesota)|I-35E]] in the [[Minneapolis]]β[[Saint Paul, Minnesota|Saint Paul]] area. The mile- and exit-numbering sequence continues along I-35E. At one sharp turn in I-35W near the junction with I-94, drivers are advised to slow to {{convert|35|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} (although many drivers are able to maintain the speed limit of {{convert|55|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}). It is not possible to go from westbound I-94 to northbound I-35W, from southbound I-35W to eastbound I-94, and vice versa, without resorting to surface streets. On I-35E in Minnesota between [[Minnesota State Highway 5|MN 5]] and [[Interstate 94 in Minnesota|I-94]], in both directions, trucks weighing more than {{convert|9000|lb|kg}} are banned from the freeway, and the speed limit drops to {{convert|45|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. This section was not completed until the late 1980s (although the route was cleared and graded earlier) due to opposition from the historic Crocus Hill neighborhood, which sits only a few hundred feet from the alignment. The four-lane alignment, "parkway" design was a compromise. The truck bypass for this section is signed on [[Interstate 494 (Minnesota)|I-494]] and [[Interstate 694 (Minnesota)|I-694]] to the east of Saint Paul. I-35 has an [[Interchange (road)|interchange]] with [[Interstate 535|I-535]]/[[U.S. Route 53 in Minnesota|US 53]] in [[Duluth, Minnesota]], known locally as the "Can of Worms". This [[Junction (road)|junction]] features a pair of left exits from I-35, a stoplight, and lane drops over the I-35 bridge.<ref>{{google maps |url = https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Duluth+MN&ll=46.765515,-92.12255&spn=0.005762,0.01663&t=h |title = Overview Map and Aerial Photo of the Can of Worms Interchange |access-date = June 8, 2009 }}</ref> The national northern terminus of I-35 is at an [[Intersection (road)|intersection]] in eastern Duluth. Drivers' options include merging with London Road/[[Minnesota State Highway 61|MN 61]] northbound, proceeding through the stop lights onto 26th Avenue East, or turning left onto London Road southbound.
