    Driving to Charlotte. Miles and miles of the center section of 85 still under construction after a decade and NOBODY IS EVEN WORKING!  Maddening. 

    I drive that way most weekends to visit family and I agree with you... progress is slow, and many sections seem to go months without progress.  This construction method sucks.

    That being said, there is a long stretch between Spartanburg and Gaffney that appears to be nearing completion with only cones keeping traffic out of the fast lane near the new center wall.

    Will it take another two decades to finish I85 construction between Greenville and Gaffney? Has their been a slower highway project in America?

    I drive this almost weekly and it does seem like there are some sections where nothing happens for weeks and weeks.  The entire stretch is a mess, but they seem to be only working on one small piece at a time.  That being said...

    How long will it take?
    Phase 2 (MM77-98) is expected to be completed by the end of 2024 and Phase 3 (MM98-106) was completed in December 2022.

  3. To what part of Main Street? I disagree on only one downtown station being necessary. You're not going to see people eager to walk over a mile from a location near Coffee Street to Fluor Field. A station in the North End, a City Center station, and a West End station would better serve our urban layout IMO.

     

    This may be where the trolley comes into play.
