Eastern Avenue Widening

Fast Facts

NCDOT TIP # R-5720
Project Type: Road widening
Affected Counties: Nash
Estimated Cost: $ 14,722,000

Description

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to widen Eastern Avenue to four lanes of travel from Red Oak Road to Old Carriage Road in Rocky Mount. In addition to being widened, Eastern Avenue will have roundabouts added at Regency Drive, Kamlar Road, and E. Old Spring Hope Road, as well as medians installed along the length of the project. The bridge on Sunset Avenue will also be converted to an interchange with on and off ramps.

This project’s aim is to reduce the heavy traffic and car accidents in the area, making them safer and quicker for those that drive them while providing better access to I-95. These improvements will tie into two additional NCDOT projects expected to move forward in the near future: the widening of Sunset Avenue & I-95 interchange improvements, the widening of Old Carriage Rd from Eastern Avenue to Green Hills Road.

Unfortunately, the expansion of the roadway puts some property owners square in the NCDOT’s path. Homes and businesses along widening corridors like this one can find themselves with vastly reduced properties and values – or in some cases, no property at all!

If you or someone you know is affected by the widening of Eastern Avenue, contact the NC Eminent Domain Law Firm as soon as possible.

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.
