I-81 project

Drivers have probably seen signs or received an alert on their I-81 Connect app.

Parts of Van Buren and Almond Streets are closing so crews can begin construction on a roundabout, which is expected to take about six months.

After three years, the NYS DOT reopened a high-speed ramp from I-481 southbound to I-81 southbound.

CNY ONRAMP is designing training in collaboration with industries and firms growing in the region, i.e. Micron, construction, etc. Social services, childcare, follow-ups could help ensure success.

Pieces of the project are falling into place, including new ramps and bridges.

Nine new buses will help deliver more frequent pick-ups and minimal stops.

It's the first of four ramps for a new interchange aimed at easing bottlenecks around the current I-81 and 690.

The road will be reduced to one lane from Oct. 13 until Nov. 20.

New York State Department of Transportation officials warn drivers of slowdowns on Interstate 81, northbound and southbound, Sept. 4 thru early October. The weekday ‘rolling slowdowns’ will be just south of downtown Syracuse

The work takes place Monday and Tuesday during daylight hours.
