New Toll Lanes Coming To Charlotte, North Carolina
A spokeswoman for the N.C. Department of Transportation told WBTV yesterday that new, paid toll lanes are definitely coming to Charlotte. They will run from the I-77 from mile marker 11 to the South Carolina state line.
A spokesperson said the question wasn’t whether any new lanes would be tolled but “how they will be delivered.”
The discussion had been taking place about building new toll lanes or waiting until the money is available to build new free lanes. Transportation planners have said it could take decades before money is available under current road funding models to build more free lanes on that stretch of I-77.
Yesterday a vote was taken to move forward studying options to add paid lanes. It still does not determine what will happen moving forward. NCDOT will study the options and report back to the planning organization.
These Are The Most Dangerous Roads In North & South Carolina
Planning a road trip? You may want to avoid certain roads. These are the most dangerous roads in America. EarnSpendLive released a report of the most dangerous roads in each US state and the same interstate took the title in both North and South Carolina. The good news is, it’s not one that most Charlotte area residents travel often. The bad news, if you are going farther south or north you very well may end up on it.
These days every road feels more dangerous than it did even just a few years ago. Just on my way into work this morning I saw several drivers blatantly run red lights. But there are still some safe roads out there. But others, if you can it may just be best to completely avoid. This list compiled by EarnSpendLive features the most dangerous roads in the country, based on the average number of fatalities that occur each year. Many of these roads see millions of drivers each year, making fatal crashes inevitable.
Below you will find the most dangerous roads in North and South Carolina as well as some nearby states you may find yourself driving through on your next road trip. Stay safe out there!
