Project Overview:

The N.C. Department of Transportation proposes to extend existing 17th Street NW to the north from 9th Avenue NW to Clement Boulevard NW (approx. 0.20 mile) in the City of Hickory, NC. The new roadway will include a 10-foot multiuse path on the east / west side.

Project Highlights:

This project seeks to improve connectivity in the project area. The construction of the proposed new roadway will eliminate the need for motorists to access U.S. 321 to move north in the project area, saving motorists time and reducing congestion on U.S. 321

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.
