February 27 Meeting to Highlight Proposed Improvements on the  Interstate 81 Bridge Over East Colvin Street 

The New York State Department of Transportation will host a public information meeting on Monday, February 27, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. pertaining to the proposed rehabilitation of the bridge carrying Interstate 81 over East Colvin Street in the City of Syracuse, Onondaga County.  

The informal, open-house-style meeting will be held at the Syracuse Latin School, located at 345 Jamesville Avenue in the City of Syracuse. Preliminary project drawings will be available for review and NYSDOT representatives will be available to answer questions.  No formal presentation is planned.

The project, which is tentatively scheduled to begin this fall, is intended to extend the service life of this important crossing by 25 years while also enhancing safety and improving mobility for travelers. All work will be performed within the existing highway boundary. No property acquisitions are necessary as part of this project.

This open house is part of NYSDOT’s continuing effort to encourage public participation in the development of transportation projects. 

The Syracuse Latin School is accessible to people with disabilities. Please contact Curtis Jetter at (315) 428–4351 for any concerns regarding interpreters, assisted listening systems, or other accommodations that may be required to facilitate participation in the open house. Questions or Comments may be emailed to: mdmamun.hassan@dot.ny.gov; written comments may be mailed to:   New York State Dept. of Transportation (Attn: Hassan MdMamun, P.E.) 333 E.
