MOOREVILLE, NC — Motorists traveling on I-77 in Iredell County should prepare for delays as maintenance crews work overnight on the express lanes. The project, which affects a stretch of highway between mile markers 32.2 and 34.4, will close one of three lanes in the northbound direction.
The lane closure is set to begin at 10:00 PM on Thursday, January 9, 2025, and continue until 5:00 AM on Friday, January 10, 2025. Work will follow a similar nightly schedule, running from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM, Thursday through Friday.
Officials have indicated that the maintenance is necessary to ensure the safety and reliability of the roadway but warn of significant traffic impacts during the closure. Drivers are advised to plan ahead, consider alternate routes, or allow extra travel time to accommodate potential delays.
The express lanes serve as a critical route for commuters and travelers in the area, and the overnight work is timed to minimize daytime disruptions. However, those driving through the affected area during the scheduled maintenance hours may encounter slowdowns and congestion.
For further updates and specific location details, motorists can consult local maps or check with transportation authorities.
