I-81 viaduct

The work takes place Monday and Tuesday during daylight hours.

The NYS DOT is mitigating noise and air pollution in the densely populated area when the first spans of the viaduct are removed.

The changes include the closure of the ramp from I-481 southbound to I-81 north, the opening of a new E. Glen Ave. bridge over 81, and a new on-ramp to I-81 southbound.

Trump and GOP lawmakers say they're reclaiming unspent funds that were slated for improving connectivity.

The ramp connects drivers leaving Syracuse and the northern suburbs without disrupting the mainline flow of I-81.

Drivers can receive notifications about lane closures and other information in real time.

The State Departments of Labor and Transportation are highlighting success with local hiring, ensuring city residents have the opportunity to work on the $2.25 billion project.

Residents on Fillmore Ave. are used to people cutting through Loretto from S. Salina Street or E. Glen Ave. But the volume has increased dramatically since construction has tied up traffic on nearby E. Brighton Ave. and the highway.

Monday kicks off the first of five open houses on a plan that examines how Syracuse can maximize the benefits of the I-81 viaduct removal.

This phase of the I-81 project is the first to take place in the heart of Syracuse.
