CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) -
The N.C. Department of Transportation will close the right lane on I-85 South at mile marker 47, south of the I-485 interchange in Charlotte at 9 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 7, weather permitting.
The lane closure will remain in place through June while contractor Lane Construction builds a ramp that will tie in from the I-485 Inner Loop, currently under construction, to I-85 South.
Crews will be setting a barrier wall Thursday night to remove existing concrete and restripe the roadway. This work should be finished by 6 a.m. Friday, Feb. 8. The shift will leave two travel lanes open to motorists.
Work on the $92.2 million project started in the fall of 2010 and is scheduled to be completed in June 2014. The team of Lane Construction and STV-Ralph Whitehead Associates has created a visualization of the turbine interchange, a first for North Carolina.
NCDOT reminds motorists to watch signs for construction information, stay alert and obey the posted speed limit.
