HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — Nearly three years in the making and close to $31 million later, the diverging-diamond interchange will finally open next week on Interstate 77 at Gilead Road in Huntersville.
Here’s to expect:
Starting Thursday at 9 p.m., no left turn lanes will be allowed on US 21 at Gilead Road.
By Friday morning, drivers will be forced to continue to a designated U-turn, which will be the permanent new traffic pattern.
Crews will then close Gilead Road between Reese Boulevard and US 21 by 9 p.m. Friday to add lane markings and road stripes while detouring traffic onto I-77.
By 6 a.m. on Monday, the new traffic pattern will be open to the public.
