'''Interstate 287''' ('''I-287''') is an [[
A bypass around New York City had been planned since the 1950s and would become a part of the Interstate Highway System and receive the I-287 designation. The Cross Westchester Expressway, which was originally designated as '''Interstate 187''' ('''I-187'''), opened in 1960 as '''Interstate 487''' ('''I-487''') before later becoming part of I-287. The New York State Thruway portion of I-287, which included a crossing of the Hudson River, opened in 1955. In New Jersey, the proposed I-287 had originally been designated as FAI Corridor 104 and incorporated what was planned as the '''Middlesex Freeway'''. The New Jersey section of I-287 between the New Jersey Turnpike in Edison and US 202 in [[Montville, New Jersey|Montville]] opened in stages between the 1960s and 1973; the remainder was completed by 1994. The aging [[Tappan Zee Bridge (1955–2017)|Tappan Zee Bridge]] was replaced with a [[Tappan Zee Bridge (2017–present)|new span]] which opened in stages between 2017 and 2018.
A [[Long Island Sound link|proposed tunnel]] across the [[Long Island Sound]] between Rye and [[Oyster Bay (hamlet), New York|Oyster Bay]] on [[Long Island]] would link the eastern terminus of I-287 to [[New York State Route 25
