Tonight, N.C. Department of Transportation contract crews will perform a traffic shift on I-77 South as part of the I-40/I-77 interchange improvement project in Statesville. Starting at 7pm, traffic will be shifted to a new alignment allowing crews to complete tie-in work for the new I-40 East loop, and to finish the embankment for the future ramp from I-40 East to I-77 North. Work is anticipated to wrap up by 7am Friday, weather permitting.
The future I-77/I-40 interchange takes shape in Statesville
