CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and the N.C. Turnpike Authority want your feedback on the I-77 South Express Lanes project.
On behalf of the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization, NCDOT is improving 11 miles of Interstate 77 from the South Carolina state line to I-277/N.C. 16 (Brookshire Freeway) in uptown Charlotte.
This stretch of I-77 hasnβt been widened since the 1990s and since 2010, the population of the Charlotte region has grown by nearly 20%.
More than 160,000 vehicles use this section of I-77 every day, and crash rates are 2.5 times higher than the statewide average.
NCDOT and NCTA hosted two public meetings on Nov. 12 and 13 with more public engagement efforts planned in the coming months.
βThose unable to attend public and small group meetings in person can still participate by completing theΒ online surveyβΒ available on theΒ project websiteβ, where additional information about the project is available.
