Bud Hawkins Road Interchange (I-95) Improvements

Fast Facts

Project # I-5877
Type: Interchange improvements
Affected Counties: Harnett
Estimated Cost: $15,834,000

Description

The NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to improve the I-95 interchanges at Exit 70 at Bud Hawkins Road and Exit 71 at Long Branch Road.

Construction is part of the NCDOT’s I-95 and U.S. 70 widening and general improvements which are intended to increase safety, alleviate traffic congestion, and repair the overall quality of the roads. Interchanges between Exit 70 and Exit 77 were built in the 1960s and are outdated and need to be brought into compliance with today’s safety standards to accommodate an eventual eight-lane I-95 in 2026.

The interchange at Bud Hawkins Road is one of six overpasses that will be rebuilt along I-95. There will be longer exit and entrance ramps and elevated, longer overpasses. Although the Bud Hawkins Road interchange will likely be closed during construction, I-95 is scheduled to remain open.

While many residents anticipated this construction, some have expressed concerns about the impact these changes could have on the community, including homes and businesses.

There are only a handful of attorneys in NC who practice eminent domain exclusively, and even fewer with NCDOT experience. We have several. That’s why its worth getting in touch with us for a free case evaluation.

Here’s how it works:

1) Tell us about your situation.

2) We research your property as needed, using DOT maps, our own technology, and experience to see the exact effects.

3) We let you know what we think a fair offer would be. This evaluation is free, and there’s no
pressure or obligation to hire us after.

But please don’t wait to act. Waiting can hurt your case, and the cost is the same: free.
