Interstate 35
Laredo, TX to Duluth, MN
I-35 is the primary NAFTA/CUSMA corridor, running 1,568 miles from the Laredo-Nuevo Laredo border through San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Des Moines, and Minneapolis to Duluth. It carries the highest volume of US-Mexico truck traffic of any inland highway. Truckers face ice storm risk through Oklahoma and Texas in winter, tornado season hazards through the corridor's Great Plains sections, and extreme bridge congestion at the Laredo border crossing.
