Drivers taking I-85 North to Dale Earnhardt Boulevard (exit 60A) will notice a change that took effect overnight, as part of the I-85 widening project in Cabarrus County.
The former exit configuration allowed left and right turns to either Dale Earnhardt Boulevard or Copperfield Boulevard. Last night’s traffic shift eliminated left turns, so drivers now taking exit 60A will be directed right, or east, on Copperfield Boulevard.
Drivers wishing to head west on Dale Earnhardt Boulevard will now take exit 60B, a new loop ramp that opened during the traffic shift.
Signage and message boards are in place to help motorists get used to the new pattern.
