Northern Interchange
The initial contract focuses on reconstructing the existing I-81/I-481 northern interchange into Business Loop 81 and I-81 in the Town of Cicero and expanding portions of former I-481 from two to three lanes to the Kirkville Road interchange.
Additionally, work in contract 1 includes new ramps between the new I-81 and Business Loop 81, between the new I-81 and State Route 481 and the construction of a new South Bay Road bridge.
Construction began in the Spring of 2023 and is anticipated to be complete by the end of 2025.
