Interstate 490 is the name of two distinct interstate highway spur routes of Interstate 90 in the United States: in Ohio and New York.
New York
The 37.40 mile Interstate 490 in New York serves Rochester, connecting at its eastern and western termini with I-90, which passes south of the city.
Ohio
The 2.43 mile Interstate 490 in Ohio (also known as the Clark Expressway, although it is rarely referred to by that name) is a short interstate highway in Cleveland, Ohio. The western terminus is a junction with I-90 and I-71 on Cleveland's West Side. After spanning the Cuyahoga River, the eastern terminus is a junction with I-77 on the East Side.
The original plans of the city and federal highway authorities called for the highway to be much longer, extending eastward to bisect through the East Side and the eastern suburbs. A referendum in Shaker Heights, Ohio in the late 1960s, however, barred the city from allowing the highway to pass through the city. This put a large and unpassable hole in the plans and made the completion of the highway impossible. By that time, however, a stub - the current vestige - had already been built.
