NC 160 (Steele Creek Road) Widening from South Carolina Line to I-485
Project ID: U5766
Construction Year: 2029
State: NC Counties: Mecklenburg
Entity: North Carolina Department of Transportation
The proposed project on N.C. 160 (Steele Creek Road) aims to reduce existing congestion and enhance travel conditions. The Level of Service (LOS), a metric for a road's traffic-carrying capacity, is a key consideration. LOS ranges from A (best, with free-flowing traffic) to F (worst, with stop-and-go conditions).
Currently, six signalized intersections along this route operate at an unacceptable LOS of E or F during morning and evening rush hours. Without improvements, a "No-Build" scenario predicts that congestion and delays will worsen significantly by the year 2040. The project would also involve upgrades to the I-77/N.C. 150 interchange in Mooresville. Work for this project will include the acquisition of new right of way and a variety of easements imposed on adjacent landowners through the eminent domain process.
Should you be impacted by this project, we can help. If you are a landowner in the footprint of this project and would like assistance with this process or would like more information regarding your rights relative to eminent domain, condemnation, or easements, please contact us today.
