Diverging Diamond fully open at Exit 28




CORNELIUS – All lanes of the Exit 28 bridge and the Diverging Diamond Interchange have been opened. Drivers are asked to be patient as people go through the new lanes and traffic patterns.

Staff have reported a noticeable difference to the previously complained about congestion. However, periodic lane closures may still occur as workers continue to add the requested aesthetics to make it look like a Charleston-like bridge over the interstate.

Lake Norman Area Chamber of Commerce President Bill Russell requested Nov. 3 that town officials meet with business owners impacted by construction as they prepare for holiday sales. He also recommended “making a splash” with a big event when construction is completed.

Commissioner Jim Duke accepted the challenge and said he wanted to “set something up that will knock the socks off the businesses.”
