CRTPO Votes on $70M Toll Lanes | Charlotte News

The I-77 South Express Lanes project is on the brink, with a projected cost of nearly $70 million—and its future hanging in the balance. The Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization (CRTPO) must decide by October 5th whether to continue backing this public-private partnership, or face paying back almost $70 million already spent on design. If they vote no, they’ll also forfeit potential state funding—up to $300 million—for community improvements like housing, parks, and small business support. With a critical vote looming at their September 23rd meeting, CRTPO faces a high-stakes decision that could reshape traffic relief efforts—or leave them stuck with massive financial penalties.
