Route description
NY 390 begins at the point where
From Lexington Avenue, where NY 390 passes into the
Past NY 104, the roadway surface shifts from pavement to concrete as the freeway heads generally northward through primarily residential neighborhoods. This section northwards to the Lake Ontario State Parkway is designated the "Assemblyman Roger J. Robach Memorial Lakeway" by state law.[6] The next exit, with Vintage Lane 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the north-northeast of NY 104, is the highway's last as a six-lane freeway. Here, it narrows to four lanes—two in both directions—before continuing onward to meet NY 18 (Latta Road) at a conventional diamond interchange. At this point, all commercial vehicles are forced to exit NY 390 due to a similar restriction on the Lake Ontario State Parkway 1 mile (1.6 km) to the north. Outside of a small pocket of development near Greece Arcadia High and Middle Schools, the remainder of the freeway crosses open, sparsely developed areas of Greece. NY 390 curves to the northeast for its final 0.5 miles (0.8 km) before ending at a trumpet interchange with the parkway 1 mile (1.6 km) from the shore of Lake Ontario.[4]
History
The 2-mile (3.2 km) segment of the
In the late 1970s, the state of New York submitted a proposal to the
The highway began experiencing dramatic increases in traffic, especially after the highway was extended to the Lake Ontario State Parkway post 1980's. As Greece and towns on the northwest side of Rochester have expanded, NY-390 emerged as the primary highway link southward. The interchange of NY/I-390 and I-490 currently serves over 200,000 cars daily — compared to 25,000 when it was designed and opened in the 1960s — and regularly has heavy congestion during the morning and evening rush hours. Major slowdowns on 390 are often influenced by the interchange at 490 and Lyell Avenue.[18]
Starting in 2010, the New York State Department of Transportation began soliciting ideas on how to improve the junction.[19] The overall project includes four phases, with $150 million in state and federal funding. The project launched in May 2017, with the replacement of the (NY-31) Lyell Avenue Bridge (which was completed in July 2018).
