South Tryon Street to go on a Diet
South Tryon Street is going to squeeze down to 3 lanes between Carson Blvd. and Stonewall Street. 
Under plans proposed by CDOT the road will have wider sidewalks (to be built with developments), a bike lane, and three travel lanes. The project will be a ‘test’ for 90 days because South Tryon (NC-49) and the bridge over I-277 are state roads and the state wants to make sure that traffic does not suffer.
To ease traffic in the area, Church street between Carson and Morehead will also be turned into a two way street to allow left turns onto Morehead towards I-77.
