LAKE WYLIE/BUSTER BOYD FIREWORKS

None — Expect significant congestion on Highway 49 near Lake Wylie/Buster Boyd Bridge from 8 p.m. through 11 p.m. on July 4th due to the annual fireworks display.

Additional congestion is expected on South Tryon St./NC 49 at Carowinds Blvd. due to the Carowinds fireworks display. After the Lake Wylie show, Highway 160 (right) to I-77 North is your best route back to Charlotte.  Stay in the left two lanes to minimize delays near Knights Stadium/Gold Hill Rd. and Carowinds Blvd. as crowds leave the other nearby fireworks shows. Choate Circle (a popular cut-thru) will likely be closed to thru-traffic. Want to park on the bridge?  Come up with another plan.  Drivers will not be permitted to park on the Buster Boyd Bridge.
