New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently announced that work has begun on two interstate projects in the Finger Lakes region.
Named for its long, narrow lakes, the region lies primarily between Rochester and Syracuse. The projects are taking place along portions of interstates 390 and 490. These routes are major corridors for Monroe County, which encompasses Rochester.
I-390 is a north-south route that runs from Rochester to the juncture with I-86 in Avoca. I-490 is an auxiliary interstate, departing I-90 in Victor and rejoining the route in Le Roy. It passes through downtown Rochester.
