Editing Interstate 990 (section)

==Description==
[[File:I-990 north in Amherst.jpg|left|thumb|I-990 northbound from the Amherst pedestrian bridge]]
I-990 begins at a [[semi-directional T interchange]] (exit&nbsp;4) with [[Interstate 290 (New York)|I-290]] (Youngmann Expressway) in the [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]] suburb of [[Amherst, New York|Amherst]]. After leaving the interchange, I-990, known as the Lockport Expressway, proceeds northward along the western edge of the [[University at Buffalo]]'s Amherst Campus as a four-lane divided expressway. It generally parallels Sweet Home Road (unsigned [[New York State Route 952T|NY&nbsp;952T]]) to exit&nbsp;1, a northbound-only interchange providing access to Audubon Parkway by way of a two-lane connector to the campus. From here, I-990 gradually bends northeastward, leaving the vicinity of the campus and entering a [[partial cloverleaf interchange]] (exit&nbsp;2) connecting to Sweet Home Road.<ref name="bing">{{bing maps |url=http://binged.it/Pn16OP |title=overview map of I-990 |access-date=September 13, 2012}}</ref>

The Interstate Highway continues to turn to the northeast as it heads away from exit&nbsp;2, crossing over [[Ellicott Creek]] and Dodge Road ([[County Route 45 (Erie County, New York)|County Route&nbsp;45]]). I-990 expands to six lanes just as it enters the nearby exit&nbsp;3, which connects to Dodge Road and the northern end of the Audubon Parkway. The freeway briefly runs eastward from the junction, paralleling Dodge Road into the [[Hamlet (New York)|hamlet]] of [[Getzville, New York|Getzville]], where the expressway passes over [[New York State Route 270|NY&nbsp;270]] (Campbell Boulevard). Just after the NY&nbsp;270 crossing, I-990 bends northward once again and enters exit&nbsp;4, a [[diamond interchange]] with North French Road ([[County Route 299 (Erie County, New York)|CR&nbsp;299]]).<ref name="bing" /> 

Past North French Road, I-990 bends back to the northeast, crossing Hopkins Road ([[County Route 87 (Erie County, New York)|CR&nbsp;87]]) as it approaches an at-grade intersection with [[New York State Route 263|NY&nbsp;263]] (Millersport Highway). The junction serves as I-990's exit&nbsp;5 and its northern terminus. Traffic approaching the junction on northbound I-990 is diverted onto what was intended to be a single-lane exit ramp leading to NY&nbsp;263. A small stub of highway exists east of the exit [[gore (road)|gore]].<ref name="bing" />
