The average daily traffic (ADT) along I-35E is pushing 100,000 cars.  
Every day.  I am not sure what the ADT is for Lexington, but I would guess 
it is between 20,000 and 30,000 based on the size of the road and so on 
(West Seventh is 20,000).

Granted, there's less idling, but when you have 3-5 times the number of 
cars you do have about 3-5 times the pollution.  That's the real problem 
with freeways like that -- they are concentrated pockets of pollution in 
the middle of the city.
