Carthage Street Widening

 

Fast Facts

NCDOT TIP # U-5709
Project Type: Road Widening
Affected Counties: Lee
Estimated Cost: $ 11,372,000

Description

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to widen and upgrade a 0.9-mile section of Carthage Street (SR 1237) from Fire Tower Road (SR 1152) to Wicker Street (NC 42) near the Kiwanis Children’s Park in Sanford.

Improvements could potentially include roundabouts at Carthage Road’s intersections with Fire Tower Road, Fields Drive, and Wicker Street, concrete medians, bicycle lanes, and upgraded pedestrian crosswalks.

The purpose of a roundabout is to help address safety and congestion issues at intersections. They are designed to enhance traffic efficiency, safety and aesthetics, and minimize traffic delays for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists.

Some people mistakenly believe roundabouts are synonymous with traffic circles. They are not. Although both are circular, roundabouts are smaller and designed for slower speed traffic (15 to 25 miles per hour). Traffic circles are larger and designed for traffic moving at higher speeds – typically 30 to 50 miles per hour.

Property Takings

It is estimated that more than 25 parcels of property will be impacted by this project. Currently the NCDOT has set aside $2,995,000 for right-of-way takings. If your property will be affected, contact one of our attorneys (four of whom previously worked on behalf of the NCDOT) for a free case evaluation.

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.
