What this record covers
Phase 1 only; do not apply this status to Phase 2.
Town-confirmed opening or revised delivery schedule
Not yet confirmed
Timing remains subject to source confirmation and delivery conditions.
What remains uncertain
- Town GIS carries an older April 2026 timing field, the June 24 sponsor announcement anticipates Q4 2026 completion, and June 17 WSOC reporting suggests possible 2027 opening. Their milestone definitions and current applicability are unresolved.
- No reviewed town opening notice establishes that Phase 1 is open. Null GIS completion date does not prove it remains closed.
- June’s reported 75% completion is not an October measurement. Future phases are outside this record.

Why it matters
Reasonable inferenceA new east-west route could change travel and commercial access in southern Mooresville. Actual traffic benefits need evidence after opening. [11] [3]
