'''Interstate&nbsp;481''' ('''I-481''') is an [[auxiliary Interstate Highway]] that serves as an eastern bypass of [[Syracuse, New York]], in the US. It begins at its parent, [[Interstate 81 in New York|I-81]], in the city's southern end and travels through the eastern Syracuse suburbs of [[Jamesville, New York|Jamesville]], [[DeWitt, New York|DeWitt]], and [[Cicero, New York|Cicero]] before rejoining I-81 in the suburb of [[North Syracuse, New York|North Syracuse]]. Upon crossing I-81 in North Syracuse, I-481 continues northwest to [[Fulton, Oswego County, New York|Fulton]] and [[Oswego, New York|Oswego]] as [[New York State Route&nbsp;481]] (NY&nbsp;481). I-481 is part of the [[Veterans Memorial Highway]], which extends northward onto NY&nbsp;481. By 2026, I-481 will be decommissioned by a reroute of I-81 onto the freeway.<ref>https://webapps.dot.ny.gov/contract-2-southern-interchange</ref>
