NYSDOT has published a preliminary Draft Design Report / Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the I-81 Viaduct Project. NYSDOT proposes to address the existing structural, geometric, and operational deficiencies of I-81 from approximately Colvin Street to Hiawatha Boulevard in the City of Syracuse. Also being investigated are modifications along I-690 approximately between its interchange at West Street and Beech Street and potential improvements on I-481 from its southern to northern termini.

The identification, consideration, and evaluation of reasonable alternatives are central to the EIS process under NEPA. As described in the project’s Scoping Report, NYSDOT advanced the Viaduct Alternative, the Community Grid Alternative, and the No Build Alternative for further evaluation in the Draft EIS. Based on public input, NYSDOT also studied a tunnel alternative called the Orange tunnel concept.

Read more about these concepts in the preliminary Draft Design Report / Draft Environmental Impact Statement.

No Build Alternative

NEPA requires the evaluation of a No Build Alternative. The No Build Alternative serves as the baseline to which the other alternatives are compared. The No Build Alternative would maintain the highway in its existing configuration. Continual maintenance and repairs would be performed to ensure the safety of the traveling public, and safety measures would be implemented to the extent feasible and practical.

Viaduct Alternative

The Viaduct Alternative would involve a full reconstruction of I-81 between approximately Colvin Street and Hiawatha Boulevard and a full reconstruction of I 690 between Leavenworth Avenue and Lodi Street. The existing viaduct would be demolished and replaced by a new viaduct, which would be built to current design standards. Almond Street would be reconstructed and include new pedestrian and bicycle amenities.

The alternative would include a full I-81/I-690 interchange (with connections in all possible directions), interchange modifications, bridge replacements and other features.

The Viaduct Alternative would require the acquisition of 24 buildings. Construction would be anticipated to take six years and cost $2.2 billion.

Community Grid Alternative

The Community Grid Alternative would involve demolishing the existing viaduct between the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway (NYS&W) bridge near Renwick Avenue and the I-81/I-690 interchange. The section of I-81 between the southern I-81/I-481 interchange (Interchange 16A) and the I-81/I-481 northern interchange (Interchange 29) would be de-designated as an interstate, and existing I-481 would be re-designated as the new I-81 and would carry a minimum of four travel lanes (two in each direction) of through traffic. The portion of existing I-81 between its northern and southern intersections with I-481 would be re-designated as a business loop of I-81 (BL 81). The character of BL 81 would vary from a high-speed facility to a signalized city street.

The alternative would disperse traffic throughout the city grid, with access points to and from I-690 and BL 81 available at West Street and Crouse and Irving Avenues (to and from I-690), as well as at Clinton Street, Oswego Boulevard, and Pearl Street (to and from northern BL 81), and numerous at grade intersections along Almond Street between MLK, Jr. East and Erie Boulevard (to and from southern BL 81).

The Community Grid would also include a full reconstruction of I 690 between Leavenworth Avenue and Beech Street, with a partial I-81/I-690 interchange, as well as interchange modifications, bridge replacements and other features. Almond Street would be reconstructed and include new pedestrian and bicycle amenities.

The Community Grid Alternative would require the acquisition of four buildings. Construction would be anticipated to take five years and cost $1.9 billion.

Alternative Hypothesis

Orange Tunnel Concept

The Orange tunnel concept would involve the demolition of the existing viaduct between the NYS&W Railway bridge and the I-81/I-690 interchange and construction of tunnel, carrying two lanes in each direction, from approximately 400 feet south of MLK, Jr. East to approximately James Street. The alignment would be about 1.7 miles long (consisting of a 1.4-mile-long tunnel and .3 miles of depressed roadway segments). The main line of the Orange tunnel would be constructed primarily with a tunnel-boring machine (TBM) in bedrock (generally about 40 to 100 feet from the surface to the top of the tunnel, and from 85 to 145 feet from the surface to the bottom of the tunnel). However, the highway would be depressed as it travels to and from the tunnel portals and connections, and the approaches would involve cut and cover and sequential excavation methods of construction.

I-690, including the I-81/I-690 interchange, would be reconstructed from Leavenworth Avenue to Lodi Street. Both fully directional (with all possible connections) and partial I-81/I-690 interchanges (with five of the eight possible connections) were considered. Under the full interchange concept, the Orange tunnel would carry I-81; under the partial interchange option, existing I-81 would be de-designated as an interstate, and existing I-481 would be re-designated as the new I-81. Almond Street would be reconstructed between Van Buren Street and Burnet Avenue, carrying three lanes and turning lanes as needed in each direction.

The Orange tunnel concept would require the acquisition of 17 buildings. Construction would be anticipated to take approximately 11 years and cost $4.9 billion.

What are alternative therapies?

Alternative Dispute Resolution

A health treatment that is not classified as a standard Western medical practice is referred to as 'alternative,' or 'complementary,” or “integrative.” Alternative therapy encompasses a variety of disciplines that includes everything from your diet and exercise to your mental conditioning and your lifestyle. Examples of alternative therapies include:

• Herbal remedies.
• Acupuncture.
• Reflexology.
• Exercise.
• Meditation.
• Massage.
• Guided imagery.
• Yoga.

What is depression?

“Major” or “clinical” depression is a mental health disorder characterized by an intense and relentless sense of hopelessness, worthlessness, emptiness and/or despair. Clinical depression interferes with working, eating, sleeping and more aspects of your life. It can be caused by one or more factors, including chemical imbalances, high levels of stress, traumatic experiences, life transitions and more. Approximately 10% of people in the United States suffer from depression.

The two most common treatments for clinical depression in Western medicine are psychotherapy and medications. A therapist provides counseling (talk therapy) and a family healthcare provider or psychiatrist provides medicine (such as SSRIs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). These treatments can be very effective. However, if you don’t respond to them, or if you want to supplement your treatment, you might want to consider alternative therapies.

What alternative therapies are recommended for depression?

No alternative therapy is guaranteed to cure depression, but the same can be said about several Western medicines and psychotherapies. To be safe, be sure to consult with your healthcare provider before you try one or more of these recommended therapies:
