NCDOT: Noise Walls No Longer Considered In I-277 Project

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte residents will not be seeing noise walls along I-277. 

The North Carolina Department of Transportation says they made the decision after reviewing the ballots submitted from residents who live along I-277 near the Fourth Ward in Uptown. 

The NCDOT will move forward with the construction that will add managed lanes on I-77 from the Brookshire Freeway to N.C. 150 in Iredell County.  The project is expected to be complete in 2018.
