Site Navigation Connecticut Maine Massachusetts New Hampshire New Jersey New York Pennsylvania Rhode Island Vermont     Interstate 590 & New York 590 Northbound Interstate 590 North Interstate 590 continues the Outer Loop freeway east from Interstate 390 at a tri-level stack interchange. Interstate 390 turns south for Henrietta, Avon, and Geneseo as the Outer Loop Freeway continues east toward Brighton and east Rochester. The interchange between the two freeways was designed to be a four-level symmetrical stack interchange with the unconstructed Genesee Expressway, the proposed Interstate 390 leading north to the Inner Loop and downtown Rochester.

Exit 1 to Winton Road departs Interstate 590 northbound. Winton Road intersects Westfall Road to the north and Brighton Henrietta Town Line Road to the south. Work begins in March 2011 to upgrade the Winton Road exit to a Diverging Diamond interchange (DDI). The DDI functions similar to a standard diamond interchange, except that it reverses the sides of Winton Road to allow for free flowing movements onto Interstate 590 in lieu of signalized left-hand turns. Construction should be completed by Summer 2012.1 Photo taken 05/10/05 Attached to the Edgewood Road over pass is the one-half mile overhead for junction New York 31 (Monroe Avenue).
