Charlotte - Starting Sunday night, April 8, intermittent lane closures will be in place along Interstate 485 between I-85 and N.C. 115 in northeast Charlotte as contract crews install pavement markers.
Work will start on the Outer Loop in the two left lanes near I-85, continuing to N.C. 115. When work on the Outer Loop is complete, the two left lanes will close on the Inner Loop, working in reverse back to I-85.
Crews will then shift lane closures to the two right lanes on the Outer Loop, working through the project limits, and will shift to the two right lanes on the Inner Loop, again working in the opposite direction.
Lane closures will be scheduled from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., Sunday through Thursday nights. With favorable weather, work could be completed within three weeks.
Since workers and equipment will be on the highway, drivers are urged to slow down when approaching the work area and to use extra caution.
