Interstate 590 (abbreviated I-590) is a tertiary spur interstate route of Interstate 90 that skirts the southeast border of the City of Rochester, New York. I-590 runs for 5.3 miles in a roughly north-south direction. The northern terminus of I-590 is at Interstate 490 (Eastern Expressway), just inside the Rochester city line, while the southern terminus is at the junction with Interstate 390 in Brighton. Along with part of I-390, Interstate 590 completes the length of the Genesee Expressway. Interstate 590 also makes up the southeast quadrant of the Rochester Outer Loop, a series of expressways that encircle the city of Rochester.

The expressway continues north of I-490 as New York State Route 590.

[edit] Route description

Beginning at I-390, I-590 travels east through open fields to its first interchange at South Winton Road. Here, the surroundings rapidly change from fields to dense suburbs as it runs through Brighton. As it approaches NY 31 (Monroe Avenue) at exit 2, I-590 turns a full 90 degrees to the north. After crossing NY 31, I-590 enters the former Erie Canal and Rochester Subway bed. Surrounded on both sides by residential neighborhoods that are separated from I-590 only by sound barriers, I-590 travels due north until exit 5, where I-590 interchanges with I-490 and becomes NY 590 at the Can of Worms.
