Description | The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing an expansion of the I-77 South Express Lanes corridor, including adding toll lanes and an elevated park at 5th Street above I-77.

The expansion will impact historic Black neighborhoods, with around 30 homes expected to be lost, and includes community input over the next 19 months. |
