HEAVY TRAFFIC EXPECTED DURING MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

Motorists in North Carolina can expect heavier than usual traffic conditions due to holiday travel from Friday, May 24th through Tuesday, May 28th. In particular, motorists should expect extremely heavy traffic delays in the vicinity of the Charlotte Motor Speedway due to racing events taking place through the weekend.

Roads in the vicinity of the Speedway, northeast of Charlotte, expected to be impacted include I-77, I-85, I-485, US-29, and NC-49. Motorists can expect the heaviest congestion to occur from early morning on Saturday, May 25th, until early morning on Monday, May 27th.

NCDOT reminds motorists to leave early and to travel during non-peak hours when possible. North Carolina law requires all vehicle occupants to wear their seat belt. Motorists should drive safely, obeying all posted speed limits and refrain from texting while driving.
