I-77 lanes to close near Lake Norman for construction of a 10-lane bridge

Beginning Monday, crews will install temporary single-lane closures on Interstate 77 near N.C. 150 exit 36 in Mooresville for construction of a 10-lane bridge, state highway officials said Friday. The closures will allow Charlotte-based contractor Blythe Development to build a new safety barrier wall and add pavement markings, according to a news release by the N.C. Department of Transportation. “Once those are installed, traffic will shift from the median to the outside lanes while crews begin building interior bridge bents,” according to the news release. Officials didn’t say how long the closures will last. Project will ease congestion, NCDOT says The Lake Norman-area closures are part of a $249 million project to improve the I-77/N.C. 150 interchange and widen N.C. 150 from N.C. 16 in Catawba County to the U.S. 21/N.C. 150 interchange in Mooresville. “The improvements will accommodate growing traffic volumes and ease congestion,” officials said. Construction began last year with crews improving storm drainage, installing utilities and moving traffic signals, according to NCDOT. “Bridge construction will be broken into multiple phases, and traffic will be maintained on the existing lanes of N.C. 150 at all times,” according to Friday’s statement. Work on the overall 15-mile project is expected

Charlotte just changed its water restrictions. Here's what homeowners should know

Charlotte’s mandatory water restrictions have finally eased after nearly six months, allowing Charlotteans to go back to pampering their yards and vehicles. As of Nov. 2, Charlotte Water moved to a Stage 1 “Low Inflow Protocol,” which means conservation is voluntary. “The change reflects improving conditions across the Catawba-Wateree River Basin,” Charlotte Water said in a news release. “Customers are no longer required to follow mandatory restrictions, but are encouraged to continue conserving water, reducing non-essential use and avoiding waste.” The city had adopted Drought Stage 2 water restrictions in May, “due to ongoing dry conditions,” Charlotte Water said in a May 1 Facebook post. The restrictions put a temporary end to washing cars at home, filling residential pools, non-essential power washing and operating decorative water features. Fundraising car wash events were halted, and irrigating lawns was cut back to two days a week, and only between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. Nearly 3,000 restriction violations had been reported to the city since May, and 415 were confirmed as of Oct. 29, Charlotte Water says. The southeastern corner of Mecklenburg County continues to be classified as abnormally dry, along with large portions of Union and Cabarrus counties, according to the
