| Asheville River Arts District Transportation Improvement | In conjunction with $200 million in mixed-use private development along Asheville's River Arts District, a $50 million tax-funded investment will reroute roads and increase pedestrian accessibility. The city has hired Code Studio, an Austin-based land planning firm, to conduct meetings and workshops with new residents to develop new “form-based” zoning rules for the area. New roads and pedestrian pathways may be routed through existing properties, and new zoning rules may drastically alter the landscape of the neighborhood. Code Studio consultants are now working through plans for the updated River Arts district.

| U.S. 74 Shelby Bypass | The U.S. 74 Bypass around Shelby, North Carolina, is an 18.5-mile, four-lane, divided highway that will extend west of Peachtree Road near Mooresboro to the existing US 74 route west of Long Branch Road. Projected to cost more than $284.8 million dollars, the first two phases of the project, R-2707A and R-2707B, have already been funded by the state. Some property owners in the path of the project are already facing eminent domain.
If your home, business, or land is affected, you have the legal right to file an immediate land condemnation claim. This means you can either negotiate or litigate with the State of North Carolina to increase the compensation paid to you for the loss of your land.
US 74 Inverse Condemnation ClaimsThree additional phases of the project—R-2707C, R-2707-D, and R-2707E—are not yet underway, but have been affecting property owners for many years by restricting what they can and cannot do with their land. These claims are called “inverse condemnation claims” because the state treats these properties as “protected corridors.” That means that property owners cannot develop their land, subdivide their properties, or significantly renovate existing structures.

As a result, our North Carolina land condemnation lawyers have filed a number of North Carolina Map Act lawsuits against the state, alleging that the protected corridors are unconstitutional and wrongfully deprive landowners of the use of their land. One such lawsuit filed by Henson Fuerst involves the matter of Stan Queen v. North Carolina Department of Transportation. |

| US Highway 17 Hampstead Bypass and Military Cutoff Road Extension | The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) US 17 Hampstead Bypass project begins at a proposed interchange with the US 17 Wilmington Bypass in New Hanover County. The proposed roadway will extend northwest into Pender County to a proposed interchange with NC 210. From this interchange, the proposed bypass continues north on existing US 17 to Sloop Point Loop Road.
https://youtu.be/ptAEOoAf1_Y
The Military Cutoff Road Extension portion of the project will begin at a proposed interchange at Military Cutoff Road and Market Street interchange and extend to a proposed interchange with the US 17 Wilmington Bypass, approximately midway between I-40 and Market Street.
The project affects landowners in Pender and New Hanover counties and right of way acquisition is currently in progress.
Under the North Carolina Map Act, property owners have been restricted from using their property as they wish since 2011. These restrictions include the inability to:

| Fire Tower Road and Portertown Road Widening | The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has proposed to widen Fire Tower Road – from Charles Boulevard (N.C. 43) to Portertown Road – and Portertown Road – from Fire Tower Road to 10th Street (N.C. 33) – in Greenville to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion as well as to reduce crashes and enhance connectivity.
The overall project is divided into two projects: Project U-5785 and Project U-5870.
Project U-5785 would widen a 0.6-mile stretch of Fire Tower Road from Charles Boulevard to 14th Street. This project is estimated to cost $6.2 million.
Project U-5870 involves widening Fire Tower Road to Portertown Road and then widening Portertown Road to 10th Street, a distance of 2.2 miles. This project is estimated to cost $23.8 million.
Right of way acquisition is beginning in summer 2026 and construction is set to begin in summer 2028.

| Kinston Bypass | Kinston Bypass is intended to reduce the traffic congestion that currently exists along a 20-mile stretch of U.S. 70 between LaGrange and Dover.
There are currently 12 design options being evaluated for this project which range from 21 miles to 25 miles. All of the designs are four-lane median-divided freeways which would only allow access to the roadway at interchanges.
Right of way acquisition for the project is set to begin in 2026.

| Future NC 540 | N.C. 540 Southeast Extension project was developed by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) in order to meet the growing population and traffic in southeastern Wake county.
For this project, 16 Alternative Route options were created however in April 2016, NCDOT selected the "orange-green-mint-green" for construction. This route was selected based on public input as well as federal, state and local agency partners. Fortunately, out of all the alternatives that were presented, this one minimizes the amount of residents and businesses that would have to relocate.

The project is broken up into three parts: R-2721 (N.C. 55 Bypass to U.S. 401), R-2828 (U.S. 401 to I-40), and R-2829 (I-40 to U.S. 64/264).
Sections R-2721 A&B and R-2828 are currently under construction. Right of way acquisition for section R-2829 is scheduled to begin in 2025.

| U.S. 70 Improvements in New Bern/James City | U.S. 70 Improvements in New Bern/James City is a 2.5 mile long project that stretches from Garner Road to the Neuse River Bridge. This project is one part of the U.S. 70 Corridor Improvement Project- which stretches from Raleigh to Morehead City, North Carolina. The U.S. 70 Corridor is one of the primary east-west corridors across eastern NC. By improving this corridor, NCDOT also anticipates economic development in the predominately rural parts of eastern NC.
In order to improve traffic flow in this area, significant modifications will be made to the interchanges at Williams, Airport and Grantham roads. Right of way acquisition is currently in progress. The project is estimated to cost $66 million and construction is expected to take up to five years.
Project MapsAs of January 2018, there were four possible design plans that included alternatives for interchanges along US 70 to either be above or below current grade. These alternatives were created after receiving feedback from community members after the proposed project was presented. Maps of these 4 alternatives may be viewed below.Alternative A1

| Hampstead US 17 Improvements and Dan Owen Connector | The North Carolina Department of Transportation US 17 Highway Improvements Project runs through Hampstead from Washington Acres Road to Sloop Point Road. The project is a super street design project which will add medians and u-turns along the entire length of the project. Many affected property owners will be losing land from the front of their parcels as right of way, in addition to frequent permanent utility easements and drainage easements. The DOT is also building a new alignment connection – known as the Dan Owen Connector – between Dan Owen Road and Factory Road. This project is intended to help ease traffic congestion along US 17 in Hampstead and has been designed to be completed along a similar time frame as the Hampstead Bypass project.
Right of way acquisition is scheduled to begin in September 2029.

| U.S. 74 Express Lanes - West of Idlewild Road to I-485 |
In order to accommodate the growing population in Charlotte, the North Carolina Department of Transportation is planning to improve and implement a network of express lanes in southeastern Charlotte and Matthews. The U-2509A project includes improvements on routes parallel to U.S. 74 to help minimize congestion during construction on U.S. 74 on Independence Point Parkway, Northeast Parkway, Arequipa Drive and Krefeld Drive. The U-2509B project includes upgrading U.S. 74 to an expressway with express lanes from west of Idlewild Road to I-485. These express lanes reduce congestion and improve traffic flow by offering motorists the option to pay a toll and ride in the express lane or continue driving on the general purpose lanes for free. The project is estimated to cost $905-958 million and construction is scheduled to begin in 2022. Project Maps |

Most of this congested stretch has two travel lanes and an open center turn lane. The project would widen the road to four lanes with a raised median, a move that would improve safety and traffic flow. Improvements will be to a 3.3 mile section of Camden Road in the Hope Mills area.
Estimated total cost: $29 million
