A New York state supreme court judge has granted project opponents’ request for a temporary restraining order to halt a $2.3-billion effort to replace the aging Interstate-81 viaduct in Syracuse, N.Y., with a street grid format.
The injunction, issued on Nov. 10 by Judge Gerard H. Neri, prohibits the state transportation department from advancing project design or construction pending resolution of opponents' lawsuit, with oral arguments set for Jan. 12.
