NC16 and NC75 Intersection Improvements to BeginSome rather dated details of the work to be done can be found here. Note that these are just proposed changes, so what percentage of this is still accurate is anyone's guess.
Beginning Tuesday, July 6, 2010, NCDOT and the contractors for the project will begin closing the NC 16 & 75 intersection. It is anticipated the closure will last from July 6 thru August 8. This will cause delays moving through the detour so please allow additional travel time. Large truck traffic is encouraged to use Grey Byrum and Waxhaw-Marvin roads to avoid congestion on Downtown streets. Detour routes have been posted by NCDOT. When complete the streets will provide larger turning radius from NC-75 to NC-16, safer pedestrian crossing areas with pedestrian signals, mast arms for the signals allowing for a more pleasing appearance, improved railroad crossing and signalization and new pavement and storm drainage upgrades.
No word on the left turning light for those turning left from South Main Street to Broome Street, although my wife has informed me there is now a left turning light for those coming south on Broome.
I'll wait until everything is said and done before I contemplate grumbling about it.
