DOT has announced that the long overdue project to add lanes to Providence Road between I485 and Rea Road going into Union County toward Weddington will be open for bidding in Nov of 2007 and construction will begin Jan of 2008. 

Providence Road, otherwise known as NC 16 is a heavily traveled road with ongoing increasing traffic.  About 33000 cars travel the 3.5 mile section of NC 16 on a daily basis, by 2030, this number will likely be pushing 43000 with the growth of Union Co.  This relief is well overdue and is welcomed by everyone affected.

Union county is the fastest growing county in the United States, this can be attributed to the low taxes, great schools, and the relatively close proximity to uptown Charlotte.  There are many luxury home communities including Highgate, Providence Downs, and Providence Downs South.  

The average commute time from Union County to uptown Charlotte is going to be 35-55 minutes depending on where you are located.  Feel free to explore Union County real estate and contact me any questions you may have.
