Route 16 from Hickory to Charlotte (reverse commute, limit, reduce)

[bluewire]

I was wondering if you guys knew how big of a highway that this will end up being and what the commute time will be from Charlotte to Hickory (reverse commute) when its set up...will it be a big 2 or 3 lane highway all the way up to Hickory? Looks like its about 20-30 miles on Google Maps...

From what I know, much of Hwy 16 a reguar two or four lane road. I'm not sure about the time, traveling just on 16.

Taking Hwy16 (Brookshire Blvd) to 85 South to 321 North, you get to Hickory in about an hour.

the new highway 16 will be a limited access highway and it kind hard to guess what the reduce commute time will be since lol it not finish
