Description

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to widen a 1.2-mile section of US 21 (Statesville Road) between Northcross Center Court near Lowe’s Home Improvement and Westmoreland Road (SR 2147) in Cornelius. Additional lanes, a center median, bike lanes, and pedestrian crosswalks are also planned.

With the NCDOT projecting traffic to double on Statesville Road by 2040, these improvements are designed to help traffic flow. This project will be coordinated with other upcoming projects in the area, including:

  • Intersection improvements at US 21 and Gilead Road
  • Upgrading the I-77 interchange at Gilead Road to a diverging diamond interchange
  • Upgrading the I-77 interchange at NC 73 (Sam Furr Road) to a split diamond interchange

  • Right-of-way acquisition – 2019
  • Start Construction – 2021
  • End Construction – 2024

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.
