SYRACUSE- The New York State Department of Transportation is alerting motorists that the I-81 northbound ramps at exits 24A and 24B will close to traffic beginning Monday, April 3. The ramps provide access to Old Liverpool Road and Onondaga Lake Parkway in the Town of Salina. The closures are necessary to facilitate bridge deck and joint repairs and are expected to take up to two months for completion.
Message boards posted on I-81 northbound will direct detoured traffic to continue north on I-81 past the closed exit ramps to exit 24 (7th North Street). There will be detour signs directing traffic from 7th North Street to Electronics Parkway and then to Old Liverpool Road.
Drivers are asked to use caution when traveling through the work zone area and pay attention to all traffic control devices, including signs and flaggers.
Motorists are reminded that fines are doubled for speeding in work zones. In accordance with the Work Zone Safety Act of 2005, convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver’s license.
