Plans To Widen Independence Blvd. Back On Track

CHARLOTTE, NC– A plan to widen Independence Boulevard in East Charlotte is back on track after a new contractor was hired to finish the job.

NCDOT has approved lane construction corporation as the projects’ replacement contractor. Devere Construction abandoned the 50 million dollar job in January, and walked away from other projects across the state.

The company says the state withheld claims and contract balances.
