History
I-90 made heavy use of existing roads. The Massachusetts Turnpike, New York State Thruway, Ohio Turnpike, Indiana Toll Road, Chicago Skyway, and the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway all predate I-90 and were used for parts of its route. This also means that substantial portions of the route are not precisely to Interstate Highway standards, but they are usually close.
The popular TV sitcom Cheers was set in Boston, on the east end of I-90. When the spin-off Frasier was being developed, it was decided to set that series as far from Boston as possible, so Seattle, on the west end of I-90, was chosen as the setting.
