Interstate 90,
travels through New York State on an almost straight east–west path,
cutting the state virtually in half. In
Buffalo, it dips south along
the shore of Lake Erie and on into Pennsylvania. After passing through
Utica and heading west to
Buffalo, it hugs the northern slope of the foothills along the Catskill
and Appalachian Mountains.
At a little over 3000 miles, I-90 is the United States’ longest
Interstate Highway.
Starting in Boston Massachusetts as the end of a terminus road for Logan
International Airport, it becomes the S. Edgar Martinez Drive in
Seattle, Washington and ends at the Seattle Mariners Ballpark, Safeco
Field.
I90 traffic loops through the NY cities of
Albany, Amsterdam, Batavia, Buffalo,
Dunkirk, Oneida,
Rochester,
Syracuse and
Utica. New York’s’ Interstate
90 intersects with three other major interstate highways, I-81 in
Syracuse, I-88 in
Schenectady and
I-87 in Albany, NY |

I-90 exits
61-24 are part of the New York Thruway system.
Their numbering order violates MUTCD standards, because roads generally "start"
at the western or southern end or state border. The Thruway "starts" in New York
City, and continues onto I-90, therefore exit numbers and mileposts are listed
in reverse. Exits 1 through12 in the Albany area, (referred to as "Free 90" by
NYSDOT), are maintained by NYSDOT. I-90 then rejoins the Thruway at the
"Berkshire section" Exit B1, and continues to the Mass Pike.
Almost all of the New York portion of the road is a toll road. It comprises the
east-west portion of the mainline and part of the Berkshire Connector, operated
by the New York State Thruway Authority.
I90 was originally constructed as part of the Thruway project in the middle
1950s and received its current designation as Interstate 90 in 1958. "I-90"
(operated by NYSDOT) carries Interstate 90 between the two; however, the
Berkshire Section directly connects to the mainline (at Thruway interchange 21A)
6.5 miles (10.5 km)west of the point where I-90 joins it (at Thruway interchange
B1).
There used to be two metric-only signs on the westbound New York State Thruway.
This was around Syracuse, which is about 100 miles (161 km) from Canada. The NYS
Thruway Authority had decided to test metric signage, which may have included
(briefly) an 88 km/h vehicle speed limit sign, on the Thruway.
A sign also displayed the distance to the Interstate 81 interchange in
kilometers in Dewitt.
I-90 is the only Interstate having a complete set of nine spur routes (190, 290,
390...890, 990), which are all in New York State.
