Independence Boulevard Bus Lanes Reopen Monday

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – CATS announced that the unused bus lanes on Independence Boulevard are reopening on Monday, August 26th.

The lanes were closed several years ago during the Hawthorne Lane bridge construction. It cost $1.3 million dollars to make those changes to the lanes so they could reopen.

Beginning Monday, the Busway will open to CATS express bus routes 40x, 46x, 52x, 64x and 74x. Route 52x will have a detour to enter and exit the busway at Albemarle Road. This detour will not impact access to 52x bus stops.

Plans call for the bus lanes to eventually become express lanes.

Use theΒ CATS-Pass appΒ to plan your trip. For questions or concerns, riders can speak directly to a customer service representative at 704.336.7433.
