The I-277/Caldwell Interchange Project includes converting Caldwell and Brevard Streets to two-way traffic, adding eastbound access to I-277 and slowing vehicular traffic on the bridge over I-277 to speeds more appropriate for an urban environment. The project will involve the reconstruction of several ramps on the I-277/Caldwell Interchange and make modifications to Stonewall, Caldwell and Brevard Streets in downtown Charlotte.  Creating a bicycle and pedestrian connection between Center City and South End districts is also a priority for the interchange project.

During the next six weeks, there will be some changes in the traffic patterns on Caldwell and Stonewall Streets in order to construct medians and install a new sanitary sewer system and waterline as part of the I-277/Caldwell Interchange Project.  Access to local businesses and parking areas will be maintained.
