CHARLOTTE — There are two projects in and around Uptown Charlotte this weekend that will impact drivers.

The South Boulevard outer loop ramp to the John Belk Freeway will be closed from 9 p.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Sunday.

Crews will be dismantling a tower crane at the Radius Dilworth Apartments.

They’re going to dismantle it and put it on the ramp, so to do so they have to close.

Davidson Street will be closed between Fourth and Third streets to erect a mobile crane.

This is for an HVAC replacement at the Government Center from 7 p.m. Friday until midnight Sunday.
