Interstate 390 (New York)

Southern Terminus: I-86/NY 17, 1.5 miles southeast of Avoca

Northern Terminus: I-490 (Exit 9 A), at an interchange in the western end of Rochester where I-390 becomes NY 390

Length: 76.06 miles

Counties: Steuben, Livingston, Monroe

Routing: I-390 starts at the I-86/NY 17 interchange northwest of Corning.  It proceeds northwest until roughly Mount Morris, where it straightens out and heads almost directly north-south.  Passing the I-90/New York Thruway and I-590 interchanges and heading into Rochester, the Interstate swings westerly and follows the Rochester Ring Road until it meets I-490, where I-390 comes to an end, and transitions into NY 390.
