Description

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and Cabarrus Rowan Metropolitan Planning Organization (CRMPO) plan to widen Derita Road (SR 1445) in Concord, North Carolina.

The approximately 2.6 mile section in question begins at the intersection with Poplar Tent Road (SR 1394) extends to Concord Mills Boulevard (SR 2894). It will be four lanes with a 23 foot median and 14-foot lanes to accommodate bicycles.

Supporters hope this project will improve traffic flow, access to Concord Regional Airport and the Concord Mills Mall, and the safety of many intersections. However, there are some concerns about the potential impacts on the area’s infrastructure.

In Concord, this project and other expansions will affect businesses, land, and home owners. The NCDOT will need 105 feet in width to accommodate the changes – 13.16 acres total.

This project is being built in two sections:

  • U-4910A begins at Poplar Tent Road and extends to the intersection with Aviation Boulevard.
  • U-4910B will finish the widening from where section A left off and extend to Concord Mills Blvd.

Schedule

Right-Of-Way (ROW) takings are currently underway and construction will likely begin in 2016.

Property Takings

More than 50 parcels of land will be affected by this project. On the B-section, 36 parcels are being affected, which have 30 owners. On the A-section, 16 parcels are being affected, which have 13 owners.

Currently the DOT has set aside $3,100,000 for right-of-way takings. However, they are delaying construction to allow for additional time for the right-of-way takings.

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.
