Route description

NY 290 begins at US 11 in downtown Syracuse. All of NY 290 within the city of Syracuse is maintained by the city. It follows James Street towards the Eastwood section of Syracuse. At Eastwood, it intersects NY 598 (Midler Avenue). NY 290 continues east and has a junction with NY 635 (Thompson Road).

Shortly after its junction with NY 635, NY 290 enters the village of East Syracuse as West Manlius Street. In the village of East Syracuse, NY 290 approaches a fork in the road, and veers to the right on Bridge Street. After a bridge over the CSX Transportation-owned Mohawk Subdivision railroad line, NY 290 approaches an intersection with Manlius Center Road to the left, Bridge Street to the right and Chevy Drive straight ahead. NY 930P (an unsigned reference route) continues to the right as Bridge Street, towards Interstate 690, and NY 5. NY 290 continues to the left on Manlius Center Drive, towards the town of Manlius.

Shortly after passing under the Interstate 481 bridge, NY 290 enters the town of Manlius. NY 290 passes through a residential section of Manlius, called Fremont Heights. NY 290 passes Fremont Road, North Burdick Street, and Minoa Road. It then stops at a T-shaped intersection, at the northern terminus of NY 257, which leads to Fayetteville. NY 290 continues to the left as Green Lakes Road.

NY 290 eventually passes Green Lakes State Park in Manlius, and then reaches its eastern terminus at NY 5 in the hamlet of Mycenae.
