Monroe Connector Bypass Will Impact Real Estate in Northern Union
County NC
The Monroe Connector Bypass, a toll road that will provide an
alternate route to US Highway 74, cleared another hurdle yesterday when
a lawsuit against its construction was rejected by a federal judge. This ruling
clears the way for construction to begin in the first half of 2012. Completion
is expected in 2015.
If you are considering a real estate purchase in northern Union
County NC, you should know about this new
roadway. Running from US 74 near the I-485 interchange in Matthews/Stallings
to US 74 between Wingate and Marshville, this 19.7 mile roadway will provide
easier access to Charlotte
and points east of Monroe.
It will also add traffic noise to neighborhoods that it passes by closely as
well as more traffic to roadways where interchanges will be built.
Which roads will have interchanges? The bypass begins at
the western end with an interchange with US 74 in Stallings. It then turns
toward Secrest Short Cut Road with an interchange at Indian Trail-Fairview Road
in Indian
Trail. The road continues around Lake
Park crossing Secrest Short Cut. It parallels Secrest Short Cut with
interchanges at Unionville-Indian Trail Road and Rocky River Road. The Monroe
Connector Bypass than heads east with interchanges at Hwy 601, Hwy 200, Wingate
and US 74 east of Wingate.
You can learn more about the Monroe Connector Bypass and see detailed maps of
each segment of the road by visiting the North Carolina Turnpike
