New York State Route 690 (NY 690) is afreeway inCentral New York in the United States. NY 690's southern terminus is at an interchange with theNew York State Thruway (Interstate 90 or I-90) andI-690 inVan Buren. The northern terminus is at an intersection withNY 48 andNY 631 inLysander. NY 690 serves the northwest suburbs ofSyracuse andOnondaga County. It also provides a link to routes that run into the populated areas ofOswego County, because its northern terminus is just a few miles shy of the county line.

NY 690 officially begins at the exit ramp forI-690 exit 1 inVan Buren, where I-690 ends and NY 690 begins. The route, still a freeway, parallels Van Buren Road to its southeast for a short distance, running from northwest to southeast, before meeting the road northwest of the Thruway by way of an interchange. Outside ofBaldwinsville, the road begins to turn to the north as it has an exit for Downer Street Road, which carriesNY 31 west of the interchange. North of the exit, NY 31 and NY 690 form aconcurrency along the western extents of the village as they cross over theSeneca River.[3]
On the north side of the river inLysander, NY 31 exits ontoNY 370 via a partial clover-leaf interchange. The exit with NY 370 is also the northernmost exit on NY 690. The freeway ends shortly after an at-grade intersection withNY 48 and the northern terminus ofNY 631 northwest of Baldwinsville. Although NY 690 ends, the right-of-way of the route continues northward as NY 48 towardFulton.[3]
Construction of what is now NY 690 began in the mid-1960s[4][5] and was completed in the early 1970s.[6][7] The freeway was designated as NY 690 on July 1, 1974.[2] When the expressway was first constructed, the interchange with theNew York State Thruway was located south of the Thruway in the space bounded by Winchell Road, Walters Road, I-690, and the Thruway.[8] The Thruway interchange was rebuilt in 1987, locating it about one mile (1.6 km) north to its current location near Jones Road.[9]
New mile-based exit numbers are currently being installed along NY 690 as part of an exit renumbering along I-690.The entire route is inOnondaga County.
