Tyvola Lane Closed Until April Expected To Cause Major Delays

Pipes are being replaced and that means a traffic headache in the meantime.

CHARLOTTE, NC — Major improvements to wastewater pipes and water pipes will mean a slowdown for Charlotte drivers, according to Charlotte Water.

Customers will be detoured onto Old Pineville Road and Griffith Road, according to the water company.
