Interstate 481 (I-481) is an auxiliary Interstate Highway that serves as an eastern bypass of Syracuse, New York, in the US. Its southern end is at its southern interchange with its parent, I-81, in the city of Syracuse and curves east, north and finally west through the Syracuse suburbs of Jamesville, DeWitt and Cicero before terminating at its northern interchange with I-81 near North Syracuse. (New York State Route 481 (NY 481) continues as a divided expressway northwest to Clay, Phoenix and Fulton and then predominantly as a two-lane highway to Oswego.) I-481 is part of the Veterans Memorial Highway, which extends northward onto NY 481. By 2026, I-481 will be decommissioned by a reroute of I-81 onto the freeway.
