Description

R-5800 is a North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposed access-management project to alter approximately 1.51 miles of US 64/US 27 from US 64 Business (North Caldwell Street) to Fortune Cove Road in Brevard.

The purpose of this project is to improve access management along this busy corridor using a raised median with right-in/right-out turns at minor driveways, and directional crossovers and possibly roundabouts at strategic locations as determined by a capacity analysis. However, what some pedestrians and drivers could see as improvements, others may view as unnecessary obstructions to the businesses and roadways they are trying to get to.

The proposed cross-section will have 11-foot travel lanes, a 17’ 6″ raised median, curb and gutter, and accommodate bicycle and pedestrian traffic with two 5-foot bike lanes and 8-foot sidewalks on both sides of the roadway. Roadway modifications such as turn lanes at existing signalized intersections and possible signal upgrades (including the use of roundabouts) are being considered, along with operation improvements at intersections along the corridor.

Unfortunately, properties in and along the path of this project stand to be negatively impacted, particularly business owners who are losing signage, parking spaces, or having access to their properties restricted. If your property – whether business or commercial – stands to be affected by R-5800, contact the NC Eminent Domain Law Firm immediately.

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.
