I-81 Viaduct Removal and Redevelopment Project

under construction

The project involves the removal of the Interstate 81 viaduct in Syracuse, New York, and redevelopment of the area including public housing. The viaduct will be brought down to street level, with plans to replace the highway footprint with commercial developments such as hotels, gas stations, and restaurants rather than new housing due to health and environmental concerns. The project also includes redevelopment of the East Adams public housing area with a focus on competent management and securing federal and state funds.
