MATTHEWS, N.C. — Crews begin the next step for the I-485 express lanes project as NCDOT crews are demolishing the bridge on Weddington Road over I-485.

The project will eventually add an express lane to I-485 between I-77 and Independence Boulevard.

NCDOT said the demolition is happening at night to avoid major traffic impacts and is expected to wrap up in six weeks.
