Interstate 81 in Syracuse

[Rothman]

I discovered an interesting situation with the I-81 project when I was checking a few things out yesterday.  On future BL 81, the SB ramp to Glen St is open - but not signed.  Meanwhile, a sign for the N Clinton St exit is up... even though it doesn't look like it will be opening in the near term.  In other interesting news, the signs for SB exit 96 all have temporary patches for "NY 481 south".

Yep...just drove past it again today.  Very frustrating.  I should find out more about the situation this week on the lack of signage.

I took a look, and the plans for contract 6 are up!  Signage and the staging for each "phase" of work begin on part 3 of 4 of the RFP plans (part 6 of the final RFP).  Looks like West Street will be exit 15A in both directions, even though there won't be an exit 15B eastbound.  Also of interest is that I-690 EB will be closed through most of this work.  Also interesting to note is that exit 4 (current exit 22) of BL 81 will be signed for Bear Street, even though, last I checked, the ramp will appear to still intersect NY 298/Court Street.  I wonder why that was changed.

Looking to how my website will handle it, since I don't do temporary configurations, it looks like I'll be switching everything to the final configuration once existing I-81 south of exit 19 closes, given that everything will be detoured rather than doing the current dance of "this ramp opens, that ramp closes, etc.".

I think I saw a sign near the ground there, so hopefully soon.  Still, it would have been nice if it was there when I was out getting pictures!
