Interstate 277 (abbreviated I-277) is a 4.41 mile loop in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina; in fact, the entire route is within Charlotte's city limits. The southern terminus (Interstate 77/U.S. Highway 21) is located on the southwest side of downtown. I-277 loops around the downtown area and reconnects with I-77/US 21 north of uptown. It is known by two names: the John Belk Freeway along the southern and eastern edges of downtown, and the Brookshire Freeway along the northern edge. The roadway continues past the northern terminus as North Carolina Highway 16, which connects to Interstate 85. North of Interstate 85, the roadway continues as Brookshire Blvd as it goes through northern Charlotte.
I-277 (along with a two-mile stretch of I-77) is one of two beltways serving the Charlotte area; Interstate 485 is the other.
