Project ID: U5767
Construction Year: 2026
State: NC Counties: Mecklenburg
Entity: North Carolina Department of Transportation
The N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing a project to improve traffic flow and prepare for future traffic growth on U.S. 21 (Statesville Road) in Huntersville and Cornelius.
The project, divided into two sections (U-5767 and U-5771), aims to improve the stretch of road between Gilead Road and Westmoreland Road. The proposed work includes:
Road Widening: Adding new lanes to U.S. 21 with a central median.
Safety Enhancements: Incorporating innovative intersection designs to improve traffic flow and safety.
Accessibility: Adding accommodations for bicyclists and pedestrians.
The U-5767 portion of the project focuses on improvements north of NC 73, while U-5771 addresses the area south of NC 73. 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.
