SYRACUSE, N.Y. — New York State on Thursday announced the launch of the I-81 Connect mobile app.
The app builds on the community-outreach efforts implemented during the Interstate 81 (I-81) project’s planning and environmental phases, the office of Gov. Kathy Hochul said.
Marie Therese Dominguez, commissioner of the New York State Department of Transportation, announced the app locally during a mid-morning event at the I-81 project Hills Building outreach center at 217 Montgomery St. in Syracuse.

“The I-81 Connect mobile app is a game changer and reinforces Governor Hochul’s commitment to providing a safe and reliable transportation network, accessible to all,” Dominguez said in the Hochul announcement. “I-81 Connect brings the community and NYSDOT together through the app, on the phone, or online, decreasing anxiety and sharing information. Today, we raised the bar on community engagement.”
The I-81 Connect mobile app — powered by GoGov, a provider of software and mobile apps to local governments — is available on iPhone and Android devices for free and can be downloaded in the App Store and Google Play.
Work on the I-81 Viaduct Project has been in progress for two years, with four of the project’s eight contracts in construction and a fifth contract anticipated to start later this spring. Additionally, final design on phase two of the project has begun. The project’s first two contracts focusing on reconstructing the existing I-81/I-481 northern and southern interchanges into Business Loop 81 and I-81, are anticipated to be substantially complete by the end of this year.
