The Charlotte Department of Transportation reported all northbound lanes of Providence heading into Uptown were closed Sunday night.
Channel 9′s photographer on the scene of the repairs saw all southbound lanes closed except for one for drivers to travel through.
We’ve asked if this was a planned repair or an emergency incident and what caused the need for repair.
