US 17 Business/NC 37 Improvements and Perquimans River Bridge Replacement

Fast Facts

Project # R-4467
Type: Improvements and Bridge Replacement
Affected Counties: Perquimans
Estimated Cost: $44,026,000

Description

Planning is underway to improve the 0.4 mile stretch of highway beginning east of the Perquimans River Bridge over the Causeway to NC 37 in Hertford. Improvements include replacing the “S Bridge” over the Perquimans River, which was built in 1929 and has a current safety rating of 3 out of 100.

The plan involves building a new swing-span bridge next to the current bridge. This plan is supported by the Town of Hertford, the Town of Winfall, and Perquimans County.

These improvements are necessary because the existing Causeway is settling unevenly due to poor soils under the roadway, and the S-Bridge across the Perquimans River has weakened significantly due to age.

Property Takings

It is estimated that more than 245 parcels of property will be impacted by this project. Currently, the NCDOT has set aside $5,291,000 for right-of-way takings. If your property will be affected, contact one of our attorneys (four of whom previously worked on behalf of the NCDOT) for a free case evaluation.

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.
