Alternate route to Charlotte when 77-south is jammed...

[Donald LaFell]

the low rent is lost in travel time and more fuel costs.

 

move to Mt. Holly or Ft.Mill. South 77 is a breeze even after 5pm. 77N from Arrowood to well, forever is just bad. Depending on time of day course.

 

Buy my place on Montford so I can get a foreclosure on Lake Wylie. Everybody wins.

 

I lived in Lake Wylie all my life. My parents worked in Charlotte and would drive through Belmont to Wilkerson Blvd and take that in. I feel like it was a cautious route, but it never jammed. Much faster than 77 N in the morning. 

 

I've never been on South 77 in rush hour and had it be a cakewalk. It usually gets pretty hairy around Carowinds and Tyvola. 

 

If I didn't want a 1 hour commute I would love to live in Lake Wylie again. 

 

Where is the foreclosure? 

[Donald LaFell]

Just to be clear I live in Mooresville and work in Mooresville. I'm asking about when I drive to Charlotte after work for events/concerts/friends etc.

Shouldn't be an issue unless there is a wreck.

there was one which is why I asked. I took 115 through Davidson but Davidson was also jammed so I figured I would check around with people who have lived in the area longer.

wait for the light rail extension into mooresville

IF i-77 is jammed then 115 may be as well. You can try the backway down to 73 and cut over to 85. If you are in backside (east) of Mooresville than may not be much longer.

 

or take 150/152/153 (I don't remember which) to I-85, but he would hit 85 quite a bit further north. there is much less traffic that way.

Could do but google maps says that is like 15 minutes longer 

[Chimera]

Definitely longer. Also less traffic.
