A bill that would kill the highly controversial toll lane on Interstate 77 in Mecklenburg and Iredell counties has been filed in the General Assembly. 

 

House Bill 226 would cancel the contract on July 1 between the N.C. Department of Transportation and I-77 Mobility Partners which has started construction in the median of I-77 north of Charlotte. 

 

Cancellation fees, which have been estimated to run as high as $300 million, would be paid by the state.
