5-9-25: CLT Traffic Issues
Tune in here to this Friday’s edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!
Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about Charlotte’s worsening traffic and the decades-long struggle to complete I-485. Jensen explains how the city’s explosive growth over 70% in 25 years has overwhelmed the existing road infrastructure, especially in South Charlotte.
WBTV discusses the widening project along I-485, including express lane additions, bridge updates, and the persistent delays that have plagued the effort since its inception.
Later Brett explores the rapid rise of autonomous technology in transportation, starting with new aircraft that can land themselves. Highlighting a feature called “Safe Return Auto Land,” Brett shares how passengers with no flight experience can safely land small private planes using just one button—a breakthrough now available in high-end Cirrus aircraft costing over $1 million.
