Sandy Forks Road Widening

Fast Facts

Type: Road Widening & Road Rehabilitation
Affected Counties: Wake
Estimated Cost: $9,900,000

Description

The City of Raleigh plans to widen and rehabilitate 3.4 miles Sandy Forks Road in Raleigh, North Carolina. The section in question begins at Six Forks Road and ends at Falls of Neuse Road.

The road will be widened to accommodate:

2 11-foot traffic lanes
5-foot bike lanes
6-foot sidewalks
And a 16.5-foot median in some areas

Supporters hope this project will improve traffic congestion, pedestrian accessibility, safety and overall condition of the roads, sustainability efforts, and link businesses to residential areas more effectively.

However, this project and other expansions may negatively affect some local businesses, land, and home owners.

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.
