Project Overview
The I-485 Express Lanes project will add one express lane in each direction along I-485 between I-77 and U.S. 74 (Independence Boulevard), providing travel time reliability and improving traffic flow in this critical transportation corridor. The project will also add one general-purpose lane in each direction along I-485 between Rea Road and Providence Road.
In coordination with other projects in southern Mecklenburg County, this project will serve as part of a larger network of express lanes offering drivers the option of more reliable travel times.
To minimize the duration of construction along the project corridor, three other projects will also be built at the same time as the I-485 Express Lanes:
Ballantyne Commons Parkway bridge widening
New interchange at Weddington Road
John Street interchange improvements? |
