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

Faced with defeat, developers nix plans for 450 Lake Norman homes on jammed road

Facing probable no votes by the Mooresville Board of Commissioners Monday night, Georgia and Florida developers permanently pulled their plans for a total of 450 apartments and townhomes along jam-packed N.C. 150 at Lake Norman. Commissioners voted unanimously to accept the developers’ requests to withdraw their rezoning applications for the homes. “This is not a table (of the requests) and not a rescheduling,” commissioner Gary West said. “When it’s withdrawn, it’s done.” “They kind of read the tea leaves that there was a chance of it not going through,” commissioner Eddie Karriker said about each request. “It wasn’t the right thing or the right time.” Developments along congested highway The developments would have sprouted along one of the Charlotte region’s most bottlenecked highways , N.C. 150, which led the Mooresville Planning Board in June to unanimously recommend denial of the requests. Georgia-based Davis Development wanted to build 261 apartments and two commercial outparcels on nearly 30 wooded and vacant acres in the 800 block of River Highway (N.C. 150). The homes would have been in eight three-story buildings on the south side of N.C. 150 across from the Water Oak subdivision, according to the developer’s plans. The development also would
