CONCORD – State contract crews will resume lane closures Sunday night on a section of Concord Mills Boulevard, continuing a $10.2 million project to improve access to the mall complex. A two – lane flyover bridge will replace the existing left turn lanes at the first main entrance, improving traffic flow on Concord Mills Boulevard.
All eastbound lanes will close at 10 p.m. so crews can safely lower girders into final position, using a jacking system. The closures will be in place until 6 a.m. Monday, continuing each night through Friday morning.
Drivers heading east will be detoured from Concord Mills Boulevard to Derita Road and Poplar Tent Road, where they can access I-85.
The bridge is anticipated to open by Thanksgiving, with minor roadwork continuing through spring 2022.
