Interstate 235 (abbreviated I-235) in Oklahoma is also known as the Centennial Expressway. The spur route of Interstate 35 is a 5.4 mile-long north-south spur route in central and north-central Oklahoma City. It connects northbound to U.S. Highway 77 on to suburban Edmond and southbound at Interstate 44 on to Interstate 35/Interstate 40 at downtown Oklahoma City. After its junction with I-40, I-235 becomes Interstate 35.

I-235's route forms the eastern edge of the Bricktown Entertainment District in the eastern part of downtown Oklahoma City.

I-235 was part of the original plan for the Interstate Highway System, but was one of the last to be completed. Only 3.66 miles were complete in 1978.^[3] It finally opened in 1989.^[4]
