Is it possible to rewrite the Interstate map and send highways around cities instead of through them? Syracuse is doing just that.
In April, WRVO and the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science & Technology (The MOST) partnered with GBH News to host a special live event exploring the removal of the I-81 viaduct. Now, you can hear that conversation featured on the latest episode of the Peabody Award-winning podcast, The Big Dig.
Host Ian Coss is joined by New York State DOT Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez, NYCLU Racial Justice Center Director Lanessa Owens-Chaplin, and I-81 Project Director Joe Driscoll to discuss the logistics, community impacts, and what it takes to build an equitable future after the highway.
