Overview (Spring 2007)

The Town of Cary will widen Evans Road to five lanes between Northwest Maynard Road and Thorpe Drive to relieve congestion and reduce travel time. The Town has budgeted $3,355,000 for the project through bonds that Cary voters approved in 1999.

The one-mile segment will have two lanes in each direction with a two-way turn lane. Outside lanes will be wider to accommodate bicycles, and sidewalks will be installed on both sides. An illustration of the proposed roadway is provided.

Construction Begins - Spring 2007
Construction Ends - Spring 2008

Right-of-Way:
Old Width – 60 to 90 feet
New Width – 90 feet
(Easement negotiations are under way)

Appraisals take into account the property that construction will alter and also the effect on existing fences, walls, trees and other features. The Town writes each property owner for a meeting to discuss the effect of the project and present a compensation offer. Property owners usually have at least 30 days to accept the offer.
