@syracuse.com: Good news, commuters: A new high-speed connection from Interstate 81 south to Interstate 481 north opened Thursday for drivers headed from downtown Syracuse to the eastern suburbs. The work is part of the massive project that culminates with the removal of the elevated section of I-81 in downtown Syracuse.

Why did this project even happen? It wasn’t necessary.

Most of the bridgework on 481in the area of the train tracks and 690 are not even close to being done. Traffic is very backed up. Shouldn’t they focus on getting that done?

Is 481 Southbound to 81 South still closed? That’s the one that needs to be opened. Tired of going into downtown to get on 81
