Motorists in the Binghamton area are being advised by lit message signs on New York State Route 17 East that the ramp to Interstate 81 North would be closing starting Monday, June 30.

The sign noted that the detour would be long term.

Motorists who normally commute from the west to destinations in the north should make plans for alternate routes.

Updates on the Prospect Mountain construction project can be found at the New York State Department of Transportation website and on the D.O.T. face book page.
