Project Type:Â Road WideningÂ
Affected Counties:Â Gaston
Estimated Cost: $Â 44,873,000
Description
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) will be widening NC-279. The project has been in planning stages for years, owing to delays at the NCDOT.
The full upgrade will include several different aspects. First, NC-279 will be widened to 2 extra lanes, expanding from 2 to 4 lanes. Secondly, the area north of Robinson-Clemmer Road to North Gaston Street will also see upgrades. This is done with the addition of a series of turn lanes at key intersections, and a wider outside lane for bicycles. Finally, there is a planned redesign for the junction between NC-279 and NC-275. New sidewalks are a possibility, but have not been confirmed.
While this project aims to reduce the heavy traffic and car accidents on NC-279, it could affect dozens of property owners. Many homes are directly in the path of the upgrade and will be demolished. If you or someone you know has property affected by the NC-279 project, call the NC Eminent Domain Law Firm today.

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.
