==Route description== [[File:Endi590.JPG|thumb|left|Northern terminus of I-590 at the [[Can of Worms (interchange)|Can of Worms]]]] I-590 begins at a [[semi-directional T interchange]] with [[Interstate 390|I-390]] in the town of [[Brighton, Monroe County, New York|Brighton]], a southern suburb of the city of [[Rochester, New York|Rochester]]. The route heads east from the junction, passing under South Clinton Avenue (which passes through the east half of the interchange but does not connect to either freeway) and traveling east through open fields to its first interchange (a [[diverging diamond interchange]] [DDI])<ref name="diverging">{{cite news |url=http://www.rochesterhomepage.net/story/diverging-diamond-comes-to-590winton-road/d/story/NBj0xysBjkyMkX5lSP3gDA |title=Diverging Diamond Comes to 590/Winton Road |publisher=[[WROC-TV]] |date=May 20, 2012 |access-date=August 8, 2015 }}{{Dead link|date=February 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> at South Winton Road. Here, the surroundings rapidly change from fields to densely populated residential areas as it passes through a more developed section of Brighton. As it approaches [[New York State Route 31|NY 31]] (Monroe Avenue) at exit 2, I-590 turns a full 90 degrees to the north.<ref name="bing">{{bing maps |url=http://binged.it/1IRAZep |title=overview map of I-590 |access-date=August 14, 2015}}</ref> Past NY 31, I-590 runs through the former [[Erie Canal]]<ref>{{cite map |url=http://docs.unh.edu/NY/rstr20se.jpg |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061229011547/http://docs.unh.edu/NY/rstr20se.jpg |url-status=dead |archive-date=December 29, 2006 |title=New York (Monroe County) – Rochester Quadrangle |year=1920 |scale=1:62,500 |publisher=[[United States Geological Survey]] |access-date=November 18, 2010 }}</ref> and [[Rochester subway]] bed.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Lipman |first=Andrew David |date=April 1974 |title=The Rochester Subway: Experiment in Municipal Rapid Transit |journal=Rochester History |publisher=Rochester Public Library |volume=36 |issue=2 |page=24 |url=http://www.rochester.lib.ny.us/~rochhist/v36_1974/v36i2.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000817094801/http://www.rochester.lib.ny.us/~rochhist/v36_1974/v36i2.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 17, 2000 |access-date=November 18, 2010 }}</ref> The freeway travels due north along this stretch, flanked on both sides by residential neighborhoods separated from I-590 only by sound barriers. Not far to the north of the intersection with NY 31 is exit 3, a partial [[diamond interchange]] for Elmwood Avenue permitting access from I-590 south and to I-590 north.<ref name="bing" /> Prior to 1980, [[New York State Route 47|NY 47]] entered the freeway at this point and followed both I-590 and [[New York State Route 590|NY 590]] north to [[Sea Breeze, New York|Sea Breeze]].<ref name="1979map" /> Another partial interchange with Highland Avenue follows at exit 4—making the two connections that exit 3 omits—before I-590 enters the [[Can of Worms (interchange)|Can of Worms]], a complex interchange connecting I-590 to [[Interstate 490 (New York)|I-490]]. North of the ramps leading to I-490, I-590 descends northeastward into a cut and passes below both I-490 and [[New York State Route 96|NY 96]] as it becomes NY 590, which continues onward toward Sea Breeze.<ref name="bing" />
