Lesson plan
Interstate 481
Interstate 481 (I-481) was an auxiliary Interstate Highway that served as an eastern bypass of Syracuse, New York, in the US. It split off from its parent route, I-81, in the southern reaches of Syracuse and curved east, north and finally west through the Syracuse suburbs of Jamesville, DeWitt and Cicero before terminating at its northern interchange with I-81 near North Syracuse. (New York State Route 481 (NY 481) continues as a divided expressway northwest to Clay, Phoenix and Fulton and then predominantly as a two-lane highway to Oswego.) I-481 was part of the Veterans Memorial Highway, which extends northward onto NY 481. I-481 was decommissioned by a reroute of I-81 onto the freeway in 2026.
