SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, Mississippi Division Office will 

serve as the lead Federal agency for this 

project while the Mississippi 

Department of Transportation (MDOT) 

will serve as joint lead agency. The 

FHWA, in cooperation with MDOT, will 

prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) to study potential 

improvements to the existing State 

Route 22 (SR 22) corridor. This 40-mile 

long corridor will be upgraded to 

Interstate standards. It has logical 

termini near Canton, MS in Madison 

County on Interstate 55 and near 

Edwards, MS on Interstate 20 in Hinds 

County. 

The purpose of the EIS is to address 

the transportation, environmental, and 

safety issues of such a transportation 

corridor. The improved connection will 

improve mobility and access throughout 

the Jackson metropolitan area and 

support economic activity. the highway 

is proposed as a full control of access 

facility, and appropriate interchanges 

will be studied at various locations. 

Alternatives under consideration 

include (1) taking no action and (2) 

build alternatives. 

The FHWA and MDOT are seeking 

input as a part of the scoping process to 

assist in determining and clarifying 

issues relative to this project. Letters 

describing the proposed action and 

soliciting comments will be sent to 

appropriate federal, state, and local 

agencies, Native American tribes, 

private organizations and citizens who 

have previously expressed or are known 

to have interest in this proposal. A 

formal scoping meeting with federal, 

state, and local agencies, and other 

interested parties will be held in the 

near future. Public involvement 

meetings will be held during the EIS 

process. The draft EIS will be available 

for public and agency review and 

comment prior to the official public 

hearing. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to this proposed action are 

addressed and all significant issues 

identified, comments and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning this 

proposed action and the EIS should be
