===Steuben and Livingston counties=== I-390 begins as westbound traffic on the concurrent routes of [[Interstate 86 (east)|I-86]] and [[New York State Route 17|NY 17]] proceeds below the overpass carrying those two routes to the west, at an interchange just east of the village of [[Avoca (village), New York|Avoca]] in [[Steuben County, New York|Steuben County]]. The expressway heads northwest through the narrow valley of the [[Cohocton River]] to [[Cohocton (village), New York|Cohocton]], where the river leaves the expressway and heads north toward the [[hamlet (New York)|hamlet]] of Atlanta. I-390 climbs gradually as it continues past Cohocton, eventually turning due west as it descends to an interchange with [[New York State Route 21|NY 21]] south of [[Wayland (village), New York|Wayland]].<ref name="bing">{{bing maps |url=http://binged.it/1N8ltRr |title=overview map of I-390 |access-date=August 14, 2015}}</ref> This exit is also the southern terminus of [[New York State Route 15|NY 15]], which eventually parallels the Interstate further north.<ref name="2008tvr" /> [[File:I-390 near Cohocton, NY.jpg|thumb|left|I-390 near Cohocton|alt=A divided expressway curving through a rural landscape alongside a valley, climbing slightly in the background.]] The road climbs again as it makes a gentle bend and widens as it crosses the [[Livingston County, New York|Livingston County]] line just south of [[Dansville, Livingston County, New York|Dansville]] and north of [[Stony Brook State Park]]. Descending again, it returns to its northwestern heading. North of the village, it climbs to the west side of the wide valley of [[Canaseraga Creek]], giving the roadway a view over the area known locally as the Flats. [[New York State Route 36|NY 36]] begins to parallel the highway closely, with [[New York State Route 63|NY 63]] on the far side of the Flats. Just south of the hamlet of [[Sonyea, New York|Sonyea]], NY 36 crosses at a diamond interchange. I-390 turns northeast briefly but resumes its northwest course soon afterward. At this point, the highway follows more level ground, with woods and swamps mostly replacing farmland in the surrounding landscape.<ref name="bing" /> [[File:I-390 near Sonyea, NY.jpg|thumb|right|I-390 northbound from exit 6 near Sonyea|alt=A divided expressway curves from the right of the image through a mostly wooded landscape towards a ridgeline at the rear below a blue sky filled with little white fluffy clouds. Along the roadway closest to the camera is a large white truck with "Perry's Ice Cream" along the side and pictures of scoops of ice cream in various colors and flavors]] After passing rest areas on either side, I-390 reaches the [[New York State Route 408|NY 408]] exit adjacent to the [[American Rock Salt]] mine at [[Hampton Corners, New York|Hampton Corners]]. Here, most traffic bound for the [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]] area exits to go west to [[Mount Morris (village), New York|Mount Morris]], visible across the Flats from the freeway, where it follows NY 36 north. To the immediate east of the exit, NY 408 ends at NY 63, which carries traffic from the Interstate into [[Geneseo (village), New York|Geneseo]], the [[county seat]]. {{One2a|{{convert|1|mi|km|spell=In}}}} north of the exit, Canaseraga Creek drains into the [[Genesee River]] on the road's west side.<ref name="bing" /> The expressway continues north through Livingston County to [[Geneseo (village), New York|Geneseo]], which I-390 skirts to the south and east. While there is no exit for Geneseo on the part of the freeway that encroaches the village, exit 8, an interchange with [[U.S. Route 20A (New York)|US 20 Alternate]] (US 20A) east of Geneseo, provides the connection. Also accessible from the junction is the hamlet of [[Lakeville, New York|Lakeville]], situated off to the east at the junction of US 20A and NY 15. I-390 continues on, encountering NY 15 north of Lakeville and southeast of [[Avon (village), New York|Avon]]. From here north to [[Rochester, New York|Rochester]], I-390 and NY 15 follow closely parallel alignments. Both highways meet [[U.S. Route 20 in New York|US 20]] and [[New York State Route 5|NY 5]] east of Avon prior to crossing into [[Monroe County, New York|Monroe County]].<ref name="bing" />
