Route description[edit]

I-277 is a four to eight-lane beltway that surrounds Charlotte center city. Starting at exit 9 on I-77/US 21, the route is roughly rectangular shaped, with two right-angle curves, running southeast, northeast, then northwest to its end at exit 11 on I-77/US 21. At approximately the midpoint of the loop, it intersects with Independence Freeway, US 74. There are two concurrencies, the southern half of the loop with US 74, and the northern half with NC 16, with all three routes sharing a brief concurrency between Providence Road and the Independence Freeway. I-277 is signed both north–south and with inner/outer directions.

I-277 is one of three ring roads serving the Charlotte area, the other two being Interstate 485 and Charlotte Route 4.
