JOHNSTON, IL – AUGUST 21: Traffic is backed up in the northbound lanes of Interstate 57 following the solar eclipse on August 21, 2017 near Johnston, Illinois. With approximately 2 minutes 40 seconds of totality the area in Southern Illinois experienced the longest duration of totality during the eclipse. Millions of people watched the eclipse as it cut a path of totality 70 miles wide across the United States from Oregon to South Carolina on August 21. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)

Today's the day!

The Monroe Expressway opens today!

The toll lanes will start near Interstate 485 in Stallings and run to Marshville, allowing drivers to skip a portion of Highway 74.

For drivers who use U.S. 74, the bypass will shave about 20 minutes off driving the full stretch, however; if you want to use the expressway, it will cost you.

The system uses electronic readers to scan drivers’ NC Quick Passes, or bills commuters through the mail.

If you have an NC Quick Pass, it will cost you $2.54 one way.

If you don't have one, you will be billed $3.92 by mail.
