I-81 Viaduct Project Public Hearing

On Wednesday, Aug. 18, the project team will conduct two in-person public hearings on the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration’s Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the I-81 Viaduct Project, a document that discloses the social, economic and environmental effects of the project’s alternatives. The project team will also hold an open house that will include display boards, interactive videos and plenty of staff to ask questions. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. at the OnCenter, located on 800 S. State St. The open house will be from 3:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The DEIS can be downloaded on the project website, dot.ny.gov/i81opportunities.

Individuals may submit comments on the DEIS until 5 p.m., Sept. 14, 2021. Responses to substantive comments will be included in the Final Environmental Impact Statement.
