The summertime season is finally here to stay. With it comes the hassle of roadway construction. Back in April, New York State's Department of Transportation (DOT) announced their significant redesign plans concerning the areas surrounding Interstates 81 and 690.

The project's purpose is to incorporate an efficient community grid that will eventually replace I-81. It is expected to take place over the course of the next five years, with developments beginning as soon as this summer. Drivers should take caution and expect to see an increase in various work zones throughout the central area.

The stress of losing a loved one often re-opens old emotional wounds in a family. And if a relative's will doesn't seem to distribute property in a way that is "fair", some family members may be tempted to contest it.
