Fast Facts
Project # U-3330
Type: Bypass Widening
Affected Counties: Nash
Estimated Cost: $32,600,000
Description
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) will begin widening a two-mile section of the U.S. 301 Bypass from just south of May Drive (SR 1836) to Benvenue Road (NC 43/48) in Rocky Mount.
As the main commercial and retail area in Rocky Mount, this corridor is expected to experience continued growth and increased traffic. The changes will accommodate this growth and increased traffic, enhance traffic flow, and increase safety conditions.
Two bridges will also be replaced – one over Stony Creek to accommodate rising floodwaters and the other over U.S. 64 to allow adequate clearance and road widening.
The number of lanes on the Bypass will increase from four to six (an additional lane on each side). Classified as an expressway, the plan is similar to a “superstreet” design, with a high-speed, median- divided, partially-controlled roadway without traffic signals.
Supporters contend this is a necessary improvement to allow for continued growth expected in this area. However, similar designs proposed in other DOT projects have raised concerns about ease of access into and out of existing businesses.

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.
