[edit] Exit list

For the free 90 concurrency:

#	Destinations	Notes
25-61	Interstate 90 west; New York Thruway west - Buffalo	I-90 joins northbound and splits southbound
1S	to U.S. Route 20 - Western Avenue (New York State Route 910F)
1E	Interstate 90 east - Albany; Boston, MA	I-90 joins southbound and splits northbound

[edit] A nice side benefit, but...

Is it really reasonable to say "I-87 and its Autoroute 15 successor provide a very popular New York-to-Montréal route because of the breathtaking scenery."? They are a popular route in this corridor because they consitute the most direct major through route, not because they're scenic. 18.173.1.42 21:02, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I really don't think the scenery or Expo 67 caused the construction of the Northway. The road was on the original interstate maps submitted in the early/mid 1950's....I'm also not aware highways in that era were controversial
