Скачать или смотреть $45 million proposed to redesign I-485 & I-85 interchange in west Charlotte

Public officials say they want to redesign a busy interstate interchange in west Charlotte calling it "the most problematic" of any such interchange in all of North Carolina.

“What you see behind you is the most congested interstate interchange in two states in North Carolina and South Carolina,” said Stephen Rosenburgh with the North Carolina Board of Transportation.

“All of us who live west of here, we really get to sit in this traffic a lot,” said NC House Speaker Tim Moore. “We see the wrecks that happen, we see the wasted energy that happens and frankly, the encumbrance that it causes people trying to get back and forth.”

Speaker Moore was joined by Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles, North Carolina Department of Transportation and other state and local leaders in West Charlotte to announce a new project to improve the interchange Thursday.
