Just to give you a little bit of history, this "Interstate" spur of I-87 in Kingston, NY was built in the 70's to alleviate traffic off of local streets. Alas, it should not be an interstate for these reasons:
- It is only 1.21 miles long. Too short to be an intersate
- No exits whatsoever. It begins at a traffic light and ends at a traffic circle.
- Some parts not up to interstate standards(Notably the bridge over the Esopus Creek)
- Does not connect to its parent interstate(I-87), and is not agknowledged by its parent interstate. (Guide signs on I-87 for Thruway Exit 19 only have Route 28 posted. Many people don't even know 587 is there until they get off the exit.)
It should actually just be Route 28, but if they wanted to be technical, they could name in NY Route 587.
