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.
Drivers should be mindful of crews working in this location and allow extra time to reach their destination. For real-time travel information, visit http://DriveNC.gov or follow NCDOT on social media.
