Interstate 90 is an east–west transcontinental freeway and the longest Interstate Highway in the United States at 3,021 miles (4,862 km). It begins in Seattle, Washington, and ends in Boston, Massachusetts, serving 13 states and major cities such as Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo, and Rochester. In New York State, it roughly follows the historic Erie Canal. The route also incorporates several toll roads that predate the Interstate Highway System, including the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway, Indiana Toll Road, Ohio Turnpike, New York State Thruway, and the Massachusetts Turnpike. These opened in the 1950s and were followed by toll-free sections in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin that were done in the 1960s. The Midwestern sections of I-90 were completed in 1978, and the majority of the route between Seattle and South Dakota opened by 1987. The final section, near Seattle, opened in September 1993; an eastern extension in Boston was completed in 2003 as part of the Big Dig project.(Full article...)
