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

Fayetteville ranks high in NC for crashes, pedestrian deaths

Fayetteville and Cumberland County rank among North Carolina’s cities and counties with the highest numbers of crashes, traffic fatalities and pedestrian deaths, according to a recently released report from the state Division of Motor Vehicles. The report analyzed 2025 crash data in 579 North Carolina municipalities and 100 counties. Fayetteville ranked third among North Carolina cities in pedestrian fatalities, tied for fifth in total traffic deaths, sixth in injury crashes and seventh in total crashes. According to an analysis of the report by the North Carolina Alliance for Safe Transportation, traffic fatalities statewide fell 12% in 2025, with 1,524 people killed in crashes, compared with 1,732 in 2024. “These statistics are more than numbers — they reflect lives lost and families forever changed,” state DMV Commissioner Paul Tine wrote in the annual report. The report found that speed was a factor in 22% of the fatalities while alcohol was involved in 23.6%. Among people killed in vehicles equipped with seat belts, 44% were not wearing one. Meanwhile, distraction was self-reported in 16% of all the crashes, and “may not reflect the severity of this issue," the report states. “We know how to avoid most crashes,” NCAST Executive Director Joe Stewart
