OKRoads -- Interstate 190 New York

Interstate 190 connects Interstate 90 to downtown Buffalo and Niagara Falls. It is 28 miles long and is one of two three-digit interstates to enter a foreign country. (Interstate 110 in El Paso, Texas, is the other, and that route is hidden) There are two toll booths along the way; one in Buffalo and the other for the bridge to Grand Island.
