Interstate 587 is a short Interstate spur route servicing the small city of Kingston, New York. It connects I-87 and the New York State Thruway west of the city with the downtown area.
At 1.2 miles, I-587 is one of the shortest Interstate highways, and it is also known as one of the most peculiar and obscure. Although the length of the highway is built to Interstate specifications, it has no interchanges. It begins at a traffic circle (more properly, a roundabout) at its junction with I-87, and ends at a stop light near downtown Kingston. Also notably, there is no signage for I-587 at its exit from I-87 (it is signed as NY 28).
The entire length is cosigned with NY 28, and it is commonly called the "Colonel Chandler Drive". Interestingly, just to the west of I-87 and the traffic circle at the end of I-587, NY 28 has a full cloverleaf interchange with US 209.
