Interstate 129 (I-129) is an auxiliary Interstate Highway which connects South Sioux City to Interstate 29 in Sioux City, Iowa. Opened in 1976, I-129 is a 3.48-mile (5.60 km) long route, running 3.21 miles (5.17 km) in Nebraska. At 0.27 miles (0.43 km), Interstate 129 is the shortest highway in the state of Iowa. A rare characteristic of I-129 is that it is one of only four Interstates to enter a state that its parent does not enter (I-29, in this case, does not enter Nebraska). The other three are I-275 around Cincinnati, Ohio since I-75 does not enter Indiana, I-287 around New York City because I-87 does not enter New Jersey, and I-535 because I-35 (located in the Duluth-Superior area) does not enter Wisconsin.

Famous quotes containing the word interstate:
“At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
