I-77 Express

Charlotte-based I-77 Mobility Partners financed, developed, designed, constructed, and currently operates and maintains the project. NCDOT retains ownership of the roadway and helps ensure I-77 Mobility Partners adheres to the standards of their contractual partnership. Construction, managed by Sugar Creek Construction, began in 2015. I-77 Express opened in November 2019. How it’s used… Through the use of dynamically-priced managed lanes, I-77 Express puts you in charge of your commute. You decide when you want to use the express lanes and for what distance. Electronic signs placed overhead before each entry point will display the current toll rate for that particular segment. The merge lanes are designed with safety in mind, providing plenty of room for drivers to enter and exit the express lanes using at least six designated points. You get to customize your travel needs to accommodate your schedule.
