Eminent Domain: Highway 70 Widening in James City
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to make changes to improve traffic along a 5.1-mile stretch of US-70 in James City. The Highway 70 widening project in James City will affect east of Thurman Road to the Neuse River Bridge in James City in Craven County. Construction is slated to begin in 2021.

What areas of James City will be affected by the US-70 improvement project?
Work would eliminate the following signalized intersections along Highway 70 in the James City area:
- Williams Road
- Airport Road
- Grantham Road
- Taberna Way
- Thurman Road
The Highway 70 widening project in James City is part of larger improvements to the US-70 corridor in eastern North Carolina. This corridor is one of the most heavily trafficked highways in the east side of the state. Among other important purposes, US-70 connects Goldsboro and Havelock, home of Seymour Johnson Air Force Base and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, respectively.
NCDOT anticipates that improvements to US-70, including highway widening in James City, will significantly benefit economic activity and development throughout Craven County and eastern North Carolina.
The project is anticipated to be completed in 2023.
“My property is being taken. What now?”
The government is required to pay “just compensation” for your taken property. However, you can be certain that the government will try to pay as little as possible. Do NOT simply accept the government’s first offer. You may be entitled to significantly more compensation for property taken as part of the US-70 project in James City and we may be able to help.
Justice Counts for North Carolina property owners.

“The DOT’s goal is to get your property for as little as possible. But you deserve more than that. You deserve just compensation. You deserve justice.”
