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
