Project Details
I-77 Express is a public-private partnership between the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and I-77 Mobility Partners. This public-private partnership allowed for the construction of I-77 Express and other infrastructure improvements along the existing portion of Interstate 77 to advance significantly sooner than if they were supported through traditional funding methods.
Charlotte-based I-77 Mobility Partners financed, developed, designed, constructed, and operates and maintains the 26-mile project. NCDOT retains ownership of the roadway and helps ensure I-77 Mobility Partners adheres to the standards of their contractual partnership.
Community Benefits
I-77 Express is a part of the community—not just a business within it. In November of 2023, we surpassed over $500,000 in donations to local area nonprofits and schools.
From M.K. “I would like to give a big five-star shoutout to Jimmie of I-77 Express. When my left rear tire blew, Jimmie stopped and checked on my safety. He then stayed with me with his big truck and flashers until a tow truck arrived. He is a true, caring professional who helped in every way. I’m so grateful that God and I-77 Express had Jimmie in just the right place at just the right time to help me.” about Jimmie Frazier, Safety Service Patrol
