State Road 135 in the U.S. State of Indiana is a road that connects Indianapolis with the Ohio River; for the most part it is a two-lane road. Leaving the flat terrain of Marion and Johnson Counties, it winds through mostly hilly terrain in Brown and Jackson Counties, passing by Brown County State Park. The remainder of Indiana 135 runs along rolling terrain until it reaches the Matthew E. Welsh Bridge, linking Mauckport, Indiana with Kentucky Route 79 in Brandenburg, Kentucky.

History

State Road 135 was known as State Road 35 until U.S. Highway 35 was built through Indiana.

Termini

The northern terminus is at U.S. Highway 31 on the south side of Indianapolis, 1/2 mile south of its interchange with Interstate 465. 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 when U.S. Highways and Indiana State Roads were all rerouted around major cities onto available bypasses in the early 1990s.

The southern terminus is the Matthew E Welsh Bridge on the east side of Mauckport. The bridge connects to Kentucky Route 79 on the south side of the bridge.
