I-40/I-77 INTERCHANGE, NORTH CAROLINA, USA
Two different highways, one unique goal: to reduce congestion and to improve safety. This is the driving force behind the reconstruction project of the Interstate I-40 and I-77 highways in the state of North Carolina, USA.
More specifically, the work involves increasing the number of lanes from 4 to 8 in the highway sections near Statesville, in Iredell County. The section in question is approximately 7.4 miles long, within which, in addition to the lane expansion, interchanges will be modified, and new bridges and access ramps will be constructed.
The I-40 and I-77 highways are vital for North Carolina, providing essential connection and economic support. While I-40 connects the west to the east of the state through breathtaking mountainous landscapes, I-77 facilitates north-south transportation, linking important urban and commercial centers. The intersection of these two highways in Statesville represents a crucial hub for mobility and economic development in the region.
