It extends for {{convert|5.31|mi|km}} from an interchange with [[Interstate 390|I-390]] in [[Brighton, Monroe County, New York|Brighton]] to the [[Can of Worms (interchange)|Can of Worms]], a complex interchange connecting I-590 to [[Interstate 490 (New York)|I-490]] ([[Eastern Expressway]]) just inside the Rochester city line. I-590 makes up the southeast quadrant of the [[Rochester Outer Loop]], which continues west on I-390 and north past the Can of Worms on [[New York State Route 590]] (NY 590). The highway is a spur route of [[Interstate 90 in New York|I-90]]; the connection between the two is made via both I-390 and I-490. The portion of I-590 between Winton Road and the Can of Worms was originally constructed in the 1960s and designated as part of [[New York State Route 47|NY 47]] from Elmwood Avenue northward. In the late 1970s, I-590 was proposed as a designation for the entire southern half of the Outer Loop. Ultimately, it was cut back to its current western terminus at the then-proposed I-390. I-590 was officially assigned in 1980 following the elimination of NY 47, and the last segment of the freeway between Winton Road and I-390 was completed by the following year.
