Your Stories Q&A: When will the rough ramp near Destiny USA get repaired?
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — You ask, we answer!
Viewer Question: The ramp off I-81 southbound that takes you to Destiny USA is in rough shape. When will it get fixed?
This pothole-patched off-ramp has prompted several questions over the years to the Your Stories Team.
Viewers are frustrated with the declining conditions of the Hiawatha Boulevard, Destiny USA Drive, Bear Street exit and want to know when the surface will be smoothed.
About 11,000 drivers use this ramp daily, according to the New York State Department of Transportation.
As in our previous stories on this rough ramp, the NYSDOT offers few details on when the surface will get fixed and what type of construction project is planned.
'NYSDOT continues to provide maintenance as needed to Exit 23A-23B-22 as we progress plans for a more substantial rehabilitation project. We anticipate having more information in the near future,' a NYSDOT spokesperson said in an email to NewsChannel 9.
When we pushed for more details, we were told that the project is in the preliminary design stages and it would be premature for the NYSDOT to comment further.
We'll keep checking!
