Falling Ice Shuts Down Section Of Street In Uptown: CMPD
A section of Stonewall Street has shut down in Uptown Charlotte due to ice falling from buildings, according to police.
CHARLOTTE, NC — Ice falling off a building in uptown Charlotte has led to a partial street closure, according to police. One block of Stonewall Street, between Tryon Street and Church Street closed midday.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police urge drivers to find an alternate route.
The winter storm that hammered North Carolina over the weekend dropped “staggering amount” of snow and rain, with some areas receiving a year’s worth of snow in one day, Gov. Roy Cooper said Monday morning. “Conditions remain treacherous,” Cooper said, warning that colder temperatures Monday evening could “turn roads into ice rinks.”
