CHARLOTTE – N.C. Department of Transportation contract crews have scheduled several closures this week as part of a $16.3 million project to improve the roadway and 22 bridges along I-277.​​



Starting tonight, crews will close the ramp from the inner loop to I-77 South (exit 1B), the on-ramp from I-77 North to U.S. 74 West (exit 9C) and the ramp from the inner loop to Freedom Drive (exit 1A). The closures will be in place from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., through Monday morning, Nov. 25.​



Also tonight, the ramp from South Boulevard to the outer loop will be closed, as will the ramp from the outer loop to Kenilworth and East 3rd Street (exit 2A). These closures will be in place from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Tuesday.​​



Nightly closures are also set for the ramps from East Stonewall and East Fourth streets to the outer loop from Tuesday thru Sunday from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following day. ​



All the work is weather permitting and subject to change. Detour information will be online at DriveNC.gov under Mecklenburg County.​



Drivers need to slow down and use extra caution while going through the work zones and the detour routes. They also need to pay extra attention to the road for their own safety, as well as any passengers, occupants of other vehicles and the construction crews in the area.​
