Will Housing Projects Lead to Heavier Traffic in Huntersville?

 Under construction: Holly Crest Luxury Apartments - one entrance.

Huntersville, NC currently has two exits off Interstate 77.  Exits 23 and 25 have become increasingly gridlock within the last year without any more new apartment homes.

 Meanwhile behind Earthfare grocery store and Forrestal Academy at Exit 23, there looks like more apartment homes being built.

Another view of construction at exit 23.

Can Huntersville, NC roads handle any more vehicles than it is doing now?  If there is an accident on Interstate 77, then the normal gridlock becomes a parking lot in Huntersville, NC as it stands now.  When these apartments were approved, I wonder if the road usage and traffic flow was considered?

Friday of Memorial Day Weekend, traffic started early.

In addition, the remainder of the Interstate 485 loop is scheduled to open in June 2015. Will this relieve some traffic congestion or add to it?  I am excited about the loop opening to get to Concord Mills in a straight line.
