| | Interstate 390 |
 | | On Nov. 24, 1971, I-390 was approved for inclusion in the interstate system, by transferring mileage from several cancelled interstates in the New York area: Lower Manhattan Expressway Spur, Cross Brooklyn Expressway, certain segments of the Nassau Expressway, the Clearview Expressway Extension, and the Queens Interborough Expressway. |
 | | I-390 was rerouted to meet intersect I-490 west of the city. |
 | | This portion of I-390, together with I-590 east of the city and their state-numbered counterparts extending north of I-490, were formerly numbered NY 47 and named the "Outer Loop" in distinction to downtown's "Inner Loop". |
