Abstract:

In an effort to reduce costs and raise money from an outside source NCDOT turned to private companies when creating new toll roads north of Charlotte. Along portions of I-77 in Mecklenburg County this corroboration between public and private firms created new fast lanes to try and bypass traffic on this busy stretch of highway. However, this project did not receive popular appeal from citizens.
