Statement From Governor Kathy Hochul on Syracuse's Transformative I-81 Viaduct Project Moving Forward

“After a court ruling from the Appellate Division, we can now definitively say that the I-81 Viaduct – which has literally divided the City of Syracuse for decades – is coming down. This favorable resolution of the State Department of Transportation's appeal allows the entire project to move ahead as scheduled, including the eventual demolition of the Viaduct. There's more work to do to reunite and reconnect communities in Syracuse and today's decision is a landmark step in the right direction.”
