DOT begins changing I-81 exit signs
KIRKWOOD, NY (WIVT/WBGH) – The first of many exit signs along I-81 north and southbound have been updated to fit the highway's new mileage-based numbering system.
State DOT workers started the project today around exit one in Kirkwood and will update the existing exit signs with new panels that correspond to mile markers along the highway.
The new exit numbers are based on the distance in miles from the Pennsylvania border to the Canadian border.
For example, the exit sign for Kirkwood-Conklin now says exit 4, and below it, is a smaller sign that says, 'old exit one.'
Several other exits in Broome County will soon be changed.
Including Exit 4A, which will turn into exit 12, or exit 6 which will become exit 16.

Highway robbery: Scammers bring back classic scam
(WHTM) — Ever get a text message saying you owe money for a toll? The messages know how to get your attention. They claim you have an outstanding traffic ticket and that if you don't pay immediately, you'll lose your registration and driving privileges. That got drive Scott Ruby's attention. 'I know that they can be awfully confusing to people, especially my age, who take this stuff for truth,' Ruby said. As summer returns, so does this infamous scam. States are warning drivers they will never text demanding money. The bottom line: Don't respond to unsolicited texts. Easy enough for Ruby — 'I owe so much that I ignore them anyway.' If you're ever unsure, call the state's agency directly at its official number to verify. Find more stories on Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
