US 64 Widening (Asheboro Bypass to NC 49)

Fast Facts

NCDOT TIP # I-5813
Project Type: Roadway Widening
Affected Counties: Randolph
Estimated Cost: $ 35,875,000

Description

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans some significant changes to the 2.2-mile stretch of US 64 from the Asheboro Bypass to east of I 73/I 74/US 220 in Asheboro. Specifically, the NCDOT plans to:

Widen that section of highway from two to four lanes
Reconstruct the interchange at NC 49, by reconfiguring loops and ramps at the interchange with US 64 and I 73/I 74/US 220. The current cloverleaf pattern interchange will become a “split diamond.” A split diamond splits the ramps between two crossroads, typically with an exit ramp/entrance ramp pair serving each of the crossroads. This split ramp will be on both the east and west sides of the interstate and connect the exit and entrance ramps between Dixie Drive and Albemarle Road.
Replace the NC 49 bridge over US 64 with a taller and longer bridge. The bridge was built in 1952, is too low for some of today’s taller vehicles, and is what the NCDOT has designated “functionally obsolete.”

While these modifications are an effort on the part of the state to improve traffic flow and safety, many home and business owners will be forced to give up a portion, or all, of their property to make way for the changes. Moreover, the NCDOT will impose control of access along some of the project’s length, meaning they will be allowed to limit where property owners are able to connect to the highway.

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.
