NCDOT To Expand Chronically Bottlenecked Lake Norman Road, Add Sidewalks
By Joe Marusak, The Charlotte Observer
The state is scheduled to choose a contractor and begin widening a chronically congested stretch of Williamson Road near Lake Norman this fall, a Mooresville official told the town Board of Commissioners this week.
North Carolina Department of Transportation will award a contract for the stretch from Brawley School Road to N.C. 150, Mooresville Water Resources Director Kevin Blayton said.
A contract will be awarded in 2027 for the other part of the road, from Brawley School Road to Interstate 77 exit 33 at the lake, Blayton said. Thel $52.6 million project will expand all of Williamson to four lanes and include a median and sidewalks, according to the state’s plans.
NCDOT aims to reduce congestion and make the road safer for drivers and pedestrians, the plans show.
