Joe Marusak from the Charlotte Observer is reporting that work is expected to begin in June for a major new four-lane Lake Norman road, first proposed decades ago for drivers to escape infuriating bottlenecks when traveling east-west across Mooresville, town officials said Tuesday. Phase 1 will stretch from Langtree Road to N.C. 115 and include a realigned Transco Road and a new rail crossing at N.C. 115, according to the town of Mooresville projects page. Langtree Road is off Interstate 77 Exit 31 at the lake. The connector will have a divided median, and multi-use paths are planned along the route. “Assuming everything goes well with bids and is approved by NCDOT, the project is scheduled to begin construction in June and last almost two years,” Young said. Phase 1 should be substantially completed in May 2025 for just under $22 million, partly funded by a 2019 U.S. Department of Transportation BUILD Grant, he said. Photo credit: Jamar Penny / Unsplash
