This would be a new plan if there was a freeway connected from I-35W to I-94. It would be designed as MN-952 instead of I-335.

Minnesota Highway 952 (MN-952) is a freeway in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It crosses Northeast Minneapolis from I-35W south of Broadway to I-94 in North Minneapolis.

Route description

MN-952, also called the North Ring, was planned as part of a loop around central Minneapolis.[1] It would have connected I-35W north of downtown Minneapolis westward to I-94 to provide better access to the city's central business district and later to ease congestion on the Lowry Hill Tunnel on I-94. The eastern terminus of MN-952 was to be on I-35W northeast of downtown Minneapolis, between the Hennepin Avenue and Broadway Street bridges.

The federal government granted approval for I-335 in October 1964. In spite of opposition from local residents, the Minneapolis City Council approved plans for the freeway in July 1970 and began purchasing right-of-way. However, increasing protest from residents prompted the council to withdraw its support in 1972. Senator Walter Mondale and Representative Donald M. Fraser began working to stop the highway, successfully getting funding for I-335 withheld. Support for the freeway continued to drop, and the US Department of Transportation removed it from the Interstate Highway System in 1978.[1]

Although I-335 was never built, evidence of its planning still exists. Until 2014, unused pavement was present at the New Brighton Boulevard and Johnson Street exits from I-35W,[3][4] and to this day an unused entry lane can be seen directly below East Hennepin Avenue on the west side of the freeway.[5]

Additionally, a strip of housing in the area is of 1970s vintage, which is much newer than the surrounding houses in the neighborhood.[citation needed] These houses were built once the I-335 project was canceled, on land where the older housing stock had been demolished in preparation for the freeway.[citation needed] For many years, blank lines on exit signage also existed on I-35W in the area until the original signs and roadway were redone many years later.[citation needed]

I-335 was listed in the 1978 Federal Highway Administration route log with a length of 2.74 miles (4.41 km).

In the U.S. state of Mississipi, U.S. Route 45 (US 45) is a 267-mile-long (430 km) north–south United States Highway in the U.S. State of Mississippi. It travels from the Alabama to the Tennessee state line, just south of Guys, Tennessee.

Route Description

Failure of the Mississippi Highway 25 N/U.S. Route 45 S bridge over the Tombigbee River relief (Big Nichols Creek)/Tennessee–Tombigbee Waterway in Aberdeen, Mississippi, during the March 1955 floods.

U.S. Highway 45 is part of a designated hurricane evacuation route in Mississippi.[2] It is entirely four-laned from its point of entry from Alabama, at the town of State Line, to the Tennessee line just north of Corinth, along the way serving the towns of (from south to north) Waynesboro, Meridian, Columbus and Tupelo.[3] U.S. 45 is a freeway in the vicinity of Meridian, from Shannon to Saltillo, and from south of Corinth to the Tennessee state line.

At Brooksville, U.S. 45 splits away from U.S. 45 Alternate and serves the towns of Columbus and Aberdeen before rejoining U.S. 45 Alternate south of Tupelo. The alternate roadway provides a more direct and entirely four-laned route between Meridian and Tupelo, bypassing Columbus to the west and, more closely, Starkville to the east.

Major junctions of U.S. 45 in Mississippi include U.S. Route 84 at Waynesboro, Interstate 20/59 at Meridian, U.S. Route 82 at Columbus, Interstate 22/U.S. Route 78 at Tupelo and U.S. Route 72 at Corinth. Each of these junctions is an interchange and, with the exception of Columbus and Waynesboro, each is part of a freeway segment.

The Mississippi section of U.S. 45 is defined at Mississippi Code Annotated § 65-3-3.
