Taking down a section of interstate highway is unprecedented but a similar move is being considered

Taking down a section of interstate highway is unprecedented — but a similar move is being considered in Syracuse, New York, where elevated portions of I-81 run through downtown, inflicting considerable harm on the urban environment. I-81 in Syracuse is nearing the end of its lifespan, and the boulevard option is one of several being considered. I-81 in Syracuse is No. 6 on CNU’s list. See www.thei81challenge.org
