Allen Street (S.R. 2839) and Ten-Ten Road (S.R. 1010) a distance of approximately 0.6 mile.  An additional left turn lane is proposed for northbound and southbound U.S. 401 at Ten-Ten Road as part of this project.

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.
