CHARLOTTE – Access to Concord Mills Mall
will soon improve for visitors, thanks to a $10.2 million contract awarded to
Blythe Development Co. of Charlotte.
The contract calls for a two-lane flyover bridge to connect from
Interstate 85 at Concord Mils Boulevard to Kings Grant Pavilion, the first main
entrance to the mall complex. The bridge will replace the existing left turn
lanes at the intersection, improving traffic flow on Concord Mills
Boulevard.
Work can begin as early as May 1. The roadway portion of the
project should be completed by June 15, 2020, with landscaping work ongoing
through the end of the year.
This was one of eight road and bridge projects recently awarded by
the department. They were worth about $110.6 million, about $20.2 million under
engineer estimates.
