Proposed Design Changes

Since receiving final survey data and completing preliminary engineering design, it has been determined that it is not feasible to tie Lacy Avenue into the north side of Millbrook Road which currently maintains access to several businesses. 

Design Change #1: Close the north side Lacy Avenue entrance and construct a new connection to Lacy Avenue from Old Wake Forest Road, north of Millbrook Road (see map below)

On the south side of Millbrook Road, the 2015 public meeting maps showed the 2nd Street connection to Millbrook Road via Lacy Avenue being closed with the only way to access to businesses on 2nd Street was off of Old Wake Forest Road.  

Design Change #2: Due to the right in/right out flow at the intersection of 2nd Street and Old Wake Forest Road, it is now proposed to maintain the 2nd Street connection to Millbrook Road using Lacy Avenue instead of closing it. (see map below)

RESOURCES FOR PROPERTY OWNERS 


Although the N.C. Department of Transportation works to minimize the number of homes and businesses displaced by a road project, it is inevitable, in many cases, that a certain amount of private property is needed. The following information explains right of way acquisition and answers questions about the process.
