If you drive I-77 near Mooresville, plan for a slower trip. Crews from Blythe Development will install temporary single-lane closures near N.C. 150 beginning Mon., Nov. 9. The Mooresville Tribune says drivers should prepare as crews continue work on the new N.C. 150 bridge.
The closures let crews build a new safety barrier wall and add pavement markings, according to a state news release. Officials didn't say how long they will last. WCNC calls this another phase of the widening project.
