- I-77 opponents question unequal treatment by state
Opponents of the I-77 toll lanes proposal in Charlotte question the N.C. Department of Transportation over perceived unequal treatment compared to other regions that abandoned similar projects. Three local officials requested details on project spending and funding impacts after the $4.3 billion proposal was abandoned, while a state senator introduced legislation requiring Charlotte area governments to repay $64 million in costs.
