NCDOT is reviewing a Cintra plan to add a second tolled lane on I‑77 between Cornelius and Mooresville, reopening fights over toll costs, congestion and a possible $64M payback threat.

Buda secured $10.48M in CAMPO funds to widen East Main Street into a four-lane corridor with a median, left-turn lanes and shared-use paths. The city says the project carries a $13.1M budget with a local match.

An SMU-led model finds full autonomous adoption could cut DFW delays by up to a third, but empty robotaxi miles, safety probes and transit losses temper the promise.
