February 13, 2025 – Syracuse, NY – Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the launch of the new I-81 Connect mobile app, a key component of the transformative I-81 Viaduct Project in the City of Syracuse. The mobile app will provide users with real-time traffic updates, construction information, and more, helping to improve mobility and keep the public informed during the project.
“The I-81 Viaduct Project is a critical investment in Syracuse’s future, and the I-81 Connect mobile app will be a valuable tool for residents and visitors alike,” Governor Hochul said. “This app will provide real-time information on traffic, construction, and more, helping people to plan their trips and avoid delays. It’s another example of how we are using technology to improve transportation and make our communities more livable.”
The I-81 Viaduct Project is a $2.2 billion investment that will replace the aging I-81 viaduct with a new, modern boulevard. The project will improve safety and mobility, reduce congestion, and create new opportunities for economic development in the city.
The I-81 Connect mobile app is available for free download on the App Store and Google Play. The app includes the following features:
- Real-time traffic updates
- Construction information
- Road closure alerts
- Detour information
- Parking information
- Public transit information
The app also includes a feedback feature that allows users to provide input on the project and the app itself.
“The I-81 Connect mobile app is a great way to stay informed about the I-81 Viaduct Project,” said New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez. “This app will help people to plan their trips and avoid delays, and it will also provide valuable feedback to help us improve the project.”
The I-81 Viaduct Project is scheduled to be completed in 2025. For more information on the project, please visit the project website at www.i81syracuse.com.
