Albemarle Road within Charlotte city-limits? No. The only improvement that I know of for this corridor is widening the median between Harris and Central.
Though, it's interesting to note that NC24/27 (Albemarle Road) is suppose to be upgraded to expressway standards in the future, east of I-485.

At this rate, Independence Blvd will be complete around 2040. By that time, I hope to have a flying car.

I got a chance to speak to someone who was over the Independence project, and I was told that the construction for the next section is slated to start in 2021. Though, I was also told that the new highway funding ranking system could expedite the construction sooner. We will see in 2015.
