Lane Closures Scheduled on I-85 North

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Crews will be working overnight at the site of the new weigh station in Gaston County, prompting the closure of one lane of I-85 North at the construction site between Exits 10 and 13 near Bessemer City.

Work will take place nightly from Tuesday, July 5, through Thursday, July 7, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.Β This work is dependent on good weather and will be rescheduled for the next dry night in the event of rain.

The new weigh station is expected to be operational in November. It willΒ have space for five offices, three unisex restrooms, and a lobby with vending area for truck drivers.

The existing weigh station on I-85 northbound about 10 miles southwest of Charlotte will close after the new facility opens.
