An additional option considered is constructing a noise wall on private property. This would require easement dedication from all property owners adjacent to I-26 along the barrier wall. It would also require additional right-of-way or easement within the I-26 right-of-way to allow access for construction and maintenance of the wall which would require Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approval.

This option was not pursued due to the property impacts and funding constraints.
