The results of a years-long construction project at the I-390/I-490 interchange are now apparent as the new flyover bridge opened Friday.
It’s a major change in traffic patterns, where once drivers exited left to go from 390 southbound to 490 eastbound. Now bearing LEFT takes you over the flyover bridge and continues you on 390 south. Bearing RIGHT takes you to the 490s.
Governor Kathy Hochul issued a statement saying this is a major achievement for Rochester-area commuters and a game-changer for Monroe County.
Construction has been underway since 2016.
