All lanes of southbound Interstate 77 reopened Wednesday morning, nearly 24 hours after a deadly helicopter crash involving a WBTV news chopper, officials said.
The crash happened around noon Tuesday, just off the southbound side of I-77 between Tyvola Road and Nations Ford Road. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police blocked access to I-77 between Tyvola and Arrowood Road while crews worked to investigate the crash. The wreckage was removed around 10 a.m. Wednesday, allowing CMPD to open all lanes of I-77.
I-77 south was closed between Tyvola Road and Arrowood Road. Now, all lanes are open to traffic. An NTSB investigator arrived on scene around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday and expects to have the chopper removed by 9 a.m.
A preliminary report on the crash will reportedly be available in three weeks, according to the NTSB. #Charlotte
