State Road 135 (SR 135) in theU.S. state ofIndiana is a road that connectsIndianapolis with theOhio River; for the most part it is a two-lane road except for near Greenwood and Indianapolis.
The southern terminus is theMatthew E. Welsh Bridge on the east side ofMauckport. The bridge connects toKentucky Route 79 inBrandenburg, Kentucky on the south side of the river.
The road runs north along rolling terrain in Harrison and Washington counties. It continues north through hilly country, passingStarve Hollow Lake State Recreation Area in Jackson County and theBrown County State Park. It then passes into the flatter terrain ofJohnson andMarion counties. The northern terminus is atU.S. Route 31 on the south side of Indianapolis, about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) south of its interchange withInterstate 465.
State Road 135 was known asState Road 35 untilU.S. Route 35 was commissioned in Indiana in February 1935.[2]
State Road 135 previously terminated a few miles farther north in the city, but was shifted down to its current northernmost location of Thompson Road whenU.S. Highways andIndiana State Roads were all truncated at or rerouted around major cities onto available bypasses in the early 1990s. It followed Meridian St., Troy Ave., and ended at US 31 and SR 37 at the time (now Madison Ave.).
