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. ==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" /> ==History== [[File:I-590 south in Brighton NY.jpg|thumb|I-590 southbound in Brighton during rush hour]] I-590 appeared on maps of the [[Rochester, New York|Rochester]] area as early as 1977 as a designation for the portion of the [[Rochester Outer Loop|Outer Loop]] south of [[Interstate 490 (New York)|I-490]]. At the time, only two portions of the loop—from I-490 in [[Gates, New York|Gates]] southeast to [[New York State Route 383|NY 383]] in [[Chili, New York|Chili]] and from Winton Road in [[Brighton, Monroe County, New York|Brighton]] to I-490 in Rochester—were complete and open to traffic.<ref name="1977map">{{cite map |title=New York |publisher=Exxon |year=1977 |edition=1977–78 |cartography=General Drafting}}</ref> The western portion was constructed {{circa|1965}}<ref name="1964map">{{cite map |title=New York and Metropolitan New York |publisher=[[Sinclair Oil Corporation]] |year=1964 |cartography=[[Rand McNally and Company]]}}</ref><ref name="1965map">{{cite map |title=New York |publisher=[[Mobil]] |cartography=Rand McNally and Company |year=1965}}</ref> and designated as part of [[New York State Route 47|NY 47]].<ref name="1977map" /> The eastern section, which opened from Monroe Avenue ([[New York State Route 31|NY 31]]) to the Can of Worms {{circa|lk=no|1965}}<ref name="1964map" /><ref name="1965map" /> and from NY 31 west to Winton Road by 1968,<ref>{{cite map |title=New York |publisher=[[Esso]] |year=1968 |edition=1969–70 |cartography=General Drafting}}</ref> was part of NY 47 between Elmwood Avenue and I-490.<ref name="1977map" /> South of Elmwood Avenue, the expressway had no signed number as the [[Federal Highway Administration]] had yet to assign the I-590 designation.<ref>{{cite book |title=Interstate System Route Log and Finder List |author=Federal Highway Administration |author-link=Federal Highway Administration |date=March 1978}}</ref> Construction on the missing section of the Outer Loop's southern half began in the late 1970s.<ref name="1979map">{{cite map |title=New York |publisher=[[Exxon]] |year=1979 |cartography=[[General Drafting]]}}</ref><ref name="1977map" /> Around the same time, the state of New York began to look into the possibility of changing the designations that were assigned to the Outer Loop. In one proposal submitted to the [[American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials]] in the late 1970s, I-590 would be truncated to begin at the then-proposed junction with [[Interstate 390|I-390]] in Brighton but also extended northward along the [[Sea Breeze Expressway]] to [[New York State Route 104|NY 104]] in [[Irondequoit, New York|Irondequoit]]. The rest of the loop south of I-490, meanwhile, would become part of an extended I-390.
