Repaving of I81 Between Polkville and Cortland/Broome County Line Expected to Take Place in 2027 – NYSDOT Will Continue Maintenance Until Then

Motorists have expressed concerns recently to the highway condition of both I81 North and South lanes between Exit 50 (Old Exit 10) in Polkville and the Cortland/Broome County line. X101 News recently reached out to the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) who says the project to rehabilitate the highway is currently in the design phase.

I81 is expected to be rehabilitated between the Broome County line to Exit 50 in the spring of 2027. Public Information Officer for Region 3 of the NYSDOT, TeNesha Murphy, told X101 News NYSDOT crews will continue to perform maintenance as needed in areas of the highway between Exit 54 (Old Exit 12) in Homer to the Broome County line until then.
