Actually it is in fact a loop route because it runs from one interstate (I-490) to another (I-86). This can be solved by extending I-390 north along NY-390 to the Lake Ontario State Parkway. NY-390 is already to interstate standards. Before the commissioning of I-86, I-390 was a spur route. Another loop with an odd number is I-590 which runs from I-390 to I-490 and never meets I-90. This can also be solved by extending it north along NY-590 to NY-104. North of NY-104, NY-590 would have to remain as it's a surface road with traffic lights.I-990 near Buffalo never connects to I-90 either, but it and I-590 are legit because they don't connect to any 2-digit interstates and so are "tertiary spurs," taking the number of a "secondary spur" that they connect to. Another example is I-795 outside Baltimore. More trivia: I-90 in New York is the only interstate in the country to have the full set of 3-digit spurs from 1-9. I-990 is the highest numbered interstate anywhere. |
