Property Takings
It is estimated that this project will impact 110 properties and more than 85 owners. The project plans indicate that many owners along the route will have their property significantly impacted, including 10 home and business owners who will likely need to relocate plus many more who will have the highway brought much closer to their front doors.
The NCDOT has budgeted $5,400,000 for right-of-way takings, and these acquisitions are expected to begin in late 2021, or early 2022.
