CHARLOTTE – Contractors with the N.C. Department of Transportation will be resurfacing lanes on Interstate 485 in north Charlotte Friday, as part of a $10.8 million contract awarded last fall.
The paving operations require temperatures at or above 60 degrees, so the work must take place during the day. One lane will be closed on the inner loop between mile markers 31 and 36. Traffic control will go in place after 9 a.m. and will be removed by 4 p.m.
Additional lane closures may continue this weekend and next week, as work advances and weather permits. Motorists are encouraged to pay attention when approaching the work zone, obey the posted speed limit, and allow extra time to reach their destinations safely.
