Interstate 277 (I-277) is a auxiliary Interstate Highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It serves as a {{convert|4.41|mi|km|abbr=on}} partial loop around Charlotte center city.

Route description

I-277 is a four to eight-lane downtown beltway that surrounds Charlotte center city. Starting at exit 9 on I-77/US 21, it goes northeast, in concurrency with US 74, to Independence Freeway; from there it goes northwest, in concurrency with NC 16, back to I-77/US 21 (exit 11). I-277 is signed both north–south and with inner/outer directions.

I-277 is one of three ring roads serving the Charlotte area, the other two being Interstate 485 and Charlotte Route 4.

Alternate names

Though the highway is commonly known as "Interstate 277" or "I-277" throughout the state, the highway does have other known names it uses locally in areas.

  • Brookshire Freeway – official North Carolina name of Interstate 277/NC 16 from Independence Freeway to I-77/US 21, named after former Charlotte Mayor Stanford Raynold "Stan" Brookshire (approved on September 8, 1975).[3]
  • John Belk Freeway – official North Carolina name of Interstate 277/US 74 from I-77/US 21 to Independence Freeway, named after former Charlotte Mayor and businessman John M. Belk (approved on September 11, 1981).[3]

History

The two freeway names were taken from former mayors of Charlotte, Stan Brookshire (1961–69) and John Belk (1969–77). The Brookshire was originally the Northwest Freeway (this name change took place in 1975), and the Belk is the newer stretch that was opened to traffic in two phases—the first in 1981 and the second in 1988. In addition, the Belk was the first section to be signed as I-277; the designation did not extend onto the Brookshire until 1987. John Belk's family is also the same one who founded the Belk department store chain. The two mayors are also the subjects of Brookshire & Belk: Businessmen in City Hall, a book written by Alex Coffin that highlights their accomplishments for Charlotte over the years. Most local residents, as well as traffic reports airing on local radio and television stations, use the names "Belk" and "Brookshire" when referring to I-277 rather than the highway number.[4]

I-277, as well as parts of I-77 and I-85, is notorious for being dark at night because its streetlights are not in working order.[5] There have been plans to replace the streetlights on this freeway, most of which have been in place since the early 1970s. A proposal to replace the streetlights with solar power was denied in 2007 because these lights weren't deemed bright enough (however, two solar-powered streetlights were operating on I-77 at the LaSalle Street exit until November 2007, and mounted on the same poles as their older counterparts but halfway down), so new electric-powered high-pressure sodium streetlights would have to be installed instead. A relighting project finally got underway in October 2008, which involved setting up new light towers at the Independence Boulevard and I-77 exits, as well as installating new lights and removing the old nonworking ones on the Brookshire portion of the interstate. This project was completed by the spring of 2009.[6] A similar project is currently being planned for the Belk portion of the interstate. In addition, highly reflective signs are being installed on the entire loop to give drivers better vision at night without the aid of additional lighting. In 2018, new LED high-masts were installed at the southern I-77, South Boulevard and Independence Boulevard interchanges, as part of a statewide conversion project; as of 2019, I-277 and the Independence Expressway approach are in the process of having all their HPS lights replaced with LED.[7]

In April 2010, the new color-coded attraction guide signs were added along I-77 & I-277 to help visitors reach popular destinations, including: Bank of America Stadium, The Spectrum Center, and the NASCAR Hall of Fame among others.
