I-190 Illinois (link)3.07 miles [1
I-190 Massachusetts (link)19.26 miles [1 The highway runs along a high ridge next to a valley with an airport.
'Lord Somnolent' notes: "Yield right of way to aircraft, please." [3 Alongside the Wachusett Reservoir (drinking water for Boston), Interstate 190
features wide paved shoulders, intended to contain water and snowmelt runoff
in its own drains rather than spilling into the reservoir. [9
I-190 New York (link)28.34 miles [1 Numbering historyOn Aug. 14, 1957, AASHO unveiled a set of tentative interstate highway
numbers for New York State, including I-90N for a spur from I-90 to
Niagara Falls. On Aug. 22, 1958, the New York Department of
Public Works submitted a plan including the same I-90N number for the
Niagara Falls spur, and adding I-190 for a Buffalo North loop. At the
time, today's I-190 would be called I-90N, and today's I-290 would
be called I-190. [10 On Aug. 29, 1958, AASHO responded with a change: the Buffalo North Loop should
have an even starting digit, i.e. 290 instead of 190. On Feb. 24, 1959,
AASHO approved changing the I-90N designation to I-190. [10 ConstructionIt was built in the mid-1950s, and uses
sections of the North and South Grand Island Bridges that were built in the
1930s. Much of the highway through Buffalo was built on the former Erie Canal.
There were plans in 1997 to turn I-190 into a surface parkway
through downtown Buffalo, but this is said to have a slim chance of happening.
