I 40 Widening and Improvements

Fast Facts

NCDOT TIP # I-5111
Project Type: Road widening and improvements
Affected Counties: Wake, Johnston
Estimated Cost: $ 319,020,000

Description

The NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to make changes to a 10.7-mile stretch of I 40 on the south side of Raleigh. Two lanes in each direction will be added from I 440/US 64 (Exit 301) in Raleigh to NC 42 (Exit 312) in Clayton. Additionally, the NC 42 interchange will be extended to allow drivers to exit or enter the highway at Cleveland Road as well as NC 42.

To eliminate left turns and reduce time spent at traffic lights, NC 42 traffic passing over I 40 will follow a new crisscross pattern known as a diverging diamond.

This section of I 40 connects the region to I 95, is a primary route to North Carolina’s beaches and other coastal destinations, and is subject to heavy congestion and delays – especially during rush hour. The changes are anticipated to try to help reduce congestion in both directions and improve overall safety.

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.
