About Us

About NCTA Operating as a separate business unit of the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), the North Carolina Turnpike Authority is authorized to study, plan, develop and undertake preliminary design work on up to nine toll roads in the state.

At the conclusion of these activities, the Turnpike Authority is authorized to design, establish, purchase, construct, operate, and maintain the following projects: Local officials may request that the Turnpike Authority consider any planned road or bridge project for development as a toll road.  However, requests would typically involve high traffic areas where new roads or bridges would significantly reduce congestion.

After receiving the request for study, the Turnpike Authority will conduct financial feasibility studies, as well as appropriate environmental studies, before approving any project for development as a toll facility.
