The right lane of the Kenilworth Avenue exit (from I-277 south) will close beginning Monday, September 17, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. until Friday, September 21, 2007 at 6:00 a.m. Right turns onto Stonewall Street traveling to Kenilworth Avenue will be permitted at the traffic signal. The left lane of the Stonewall Street exit (from I-277 south) will be closed for the weekend beginning Friday, September 21, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. until Monday, September 24, 2007 at 6:00 a.m. Right turns at the end of the ramp will be permitted (at the traffic signal). Motorists are encouraged to use the following alternate route off the exit (detours will be posted): McDowell Street to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to Brevard Street. These traffic patterns are necessary in order to construct a new sewer line for the I-277/Caldwell Interchange Project.
All City departments and utilities involved in constructing the I-277/Caldwell Interchange Project make every effort to schedule and coordinate work to minimize the impact to motorists, pedestrians and area businesses. Weather and unforeseen circumstances occasionally prevent work from being completed as scheduled, and make it unsafe to reopen lanes or streets when planned. When this occurs, City traffic engineers work directly with other City staff and contractors to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and reduce impacts to the traveling public.
NASCAR Hall of Fame Road Improvements
The I-277/Caldwell Interchange Project (NASCAR Hall of Fame Road Improvements) will reconstruct several ramps on I-277 and modify Stonewall, Caldwell and Brevard Streets along with Martin Luther King Boulevard in Uptown Charlotte. When completed, the area in and around the interchange will be pedestrian and bicycle friendly and accommodate development of the future NASCAR Hall of Fame site. Construction of the interchange project is scheduled to be complete when the NASCAR Hall of Fame opens in 2010.

All City departments and utilities involved in constructing the South Corridor's LYNX Blue Line and infrastructure projects make every effort to schedule and coordinate work to minimize the impact to motorists, pedestrians and area businesses. Weather and unforeseen circumstances occasionally prevent work from being completed as scheduled, and make it unsafe to reopen lanes or streets when planned. When this occurs, City traffic engineers work directly with other City staff and contractors to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and reduce impacts to the traveling public.
