===Monroe County=== As I-390 heads north through the southern extents of the county, the surroundings become more residential and commercial in nature. The freeway meets NY 15 and [[New York State Route 251|NY 251]] in [[Rush, New York|Rush]] ahead of an interchange with both the [[New York State Thruway]] ([[Interstate 90 in New York|I-90]]) and [[New York State Route 253|NY 253]] in southern [[Henrietta, New York|Henrietta]]. Past the thruway, the transition from the rural landscapes of the Southern Tier and [[Finger Lakes]] to residential and commercial areas is completed as I-390 continues into the suburbs of Rochester and the commercial center of Henrietta. Roughly {{convert|1.5|mi|km}} from NY 253, I-390 has an exit leading to Hylan Drive, a through street leading to [[The Marketplace Mall]]. Farther north, I-390 meets both [[New York State Route 15A|NY 15A]] and [[New York State Route 252|NY 252]] in equally commercialized areas before entering [[Brighton, Monroe County, New York|Brighton]].<ref name="bing" /> [[File:Downtown Rochester NY from I-390 in Henrietta.jpg|thumb|left|Northbound on I-390 in southern Henrietta. The skyline of [[Downtown Rochester]] is visible in the background.]] Shortly after entering Brighton, I-390 crosses over the [[Erie Canal]] and meets the southern terminus of [[Interstate 590|I-590]] at a large [[semi-directional T interchange]] located adjacent to the canal and South Clinton Avenue. The latter of the two passes through the eastern half of the junction, crossing over I-590 but passing under the ramps connecting I-590 south to I-390 south and I-390 north to I-590 north. Past the exit, I-390 turns to the west, joining the [[Rochester Outer Loop]] and crossing back over the canal ahead of an interchange with NY 15 and NY 15A. After passing under NY 15, the freeway begins to run along the southern edge of the Erie Canal, here delimiting the southern city limits of Rochester. The canal and I-390 run side by side for just over {{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}} to the Genesee River, where I-390 veers slightly to the west as it meets [[New York State Route 383|NY 383]] at a [[partial cloverleaf interchange]].<ref name="bing" /> [[File:390sb airport.jpg|thumb|right|I-390 southbound by the Greater Rochester International Airport, with heavy traffic on the northbound side]] For the next mile ({{Convert|1|mi|km|disp=output only}}), I-390 follows a more northwesterly alignment along the northeastern edge of the [[Greater Rochester International Airport]] grounds. It meets Brooks Avenue ([[New York State Route 204|NY 204]]) at the northern edge of the grounds before leaving the airport area and curving more to the north, matching changes in the Erie Canal's alignment as both entities proceed around the southwestern edge of the city. Now in [[Gates, New York|Gates]], I-390 crosses over the [[Rochester and Southern Railroad]] just south of another partial cloverleaf interchange with [[New York State Route 33A|NY 33A]]. The freeway continues on, passing under the [[CSX Transportation]]-owned [[Rochester Subdivision]] and [[New York State Route 33|NY 33]] before connecting to [[Interstate 490 (New York)|I-490]] at a complex interchange roughly {{convert|0.25|mi|km}} west of the canal and the Rochester city limits. I-390 ends here; however, the freeway continues northward toward [[Greece (town), New York|Greece]] as [[New York State Route 390|NY 390]].<ref name="bing" />
