🚧 TRAFFIC ALERT: CANAL BRIDGE REHABILITATION PROJECT 🚧

NCDOT is beginning a rehabilitation project on the Canal Bridge TODAY, Friday, October 30, on NC 273 (South Point Road) near the Duke Energy plant.

Here's what motorists need to know:

✅ THE ROAD AND BRIDGE WILL REMAIN OPEN with rotating lane closure. No full closure is planned.

🔀 SIGNED DETOUR: NCDOT's contractor is setting up a signed detour to help reduce traffic volume while crews prepare the bridge for repairs. If you can use the detour, please do!

🚦 FLAGGERS ON SITE: Local traffic will be managed by flaggers. Motorists should expect brief stops as crews conduct lane closures.

Please plan a little extra travel time, slow down when traveling through the work zone, and give road crews plenty of room to work safely.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as NCDOT completes these important improvements! 🚧

Around 11 p.m. on October 6, 2026, Belmont officers observed a vehicle traveling on Park Street in Belmont and witnessed several traffic violations, including careless and reckless driving. The vehicle nearly collided with several motorists. Based on the driver’s actions, officers believed the driver was intoxicated and that the manner of driving posed a danger to the public.

Officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop, but the driver fled from Park Street onto northbound I-85 at a high rate of speed. Belmont officers pursued the vehicle to Thomasboro Drive in Charlotte, where it struck a telephone pole.

The driver failed to obey officers commands and fled on foot. Belmont Police K9 Bandit and his handler conducted a track and located the suspect hiding in the bed of a truck approximately half a mile from the crash scene.

The suspect is a juvenile. The vehicle he fled in had been reported stolen in Charlotte.

The Belmont Police Department thanks the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department for its assistance.
