Interstate 86 (abbreviated '''I-86''') is an Interstate Highway that runs from an intersection with Interstate 90 in Erie, Pennsylvania to an intersection with New York State Highway 14 in Horseheads, New York along the Southern Tier Expressway ( New York State Highway 17 ). It will be extended eastward along NY 17 to an intersection with Interstate 87 in Harriman, New York once key improvements in the Elmira , Binghamton , and Catskills areas are completed.

NOTES

I-86 was also used to refer to what is now I-84 between Manchester, Connecticut and I-90 in Sturbridge, Massachusetts; this was done so that I-84 could continue from Manchester to Providence, Rhode Island. After environmental opposition "killed" that leg of I-84, I-86 was also deemed surplus to requirements.
