Background 

The FHWA, in cooperation with the 

Iowa Department of Transportation and 

Warren County, will prepare an EIS for 

the proposed Southwest Connector 

corridor study. The proposed project 

includes roadway improvements to 

provide a high-speed, 5-lane roadway 

between I–35 South/R35 and IA 5/South 

11th Street. 

The purpose of the SW Connector is 

to prepare for increased travel demand 

in and around Warren County, Des 

Moines, and West Des Moines. 

Construction of the proposed 

interchange and roadway will decrease 

congestion at the IA 5/I–35 south 

interchange and provide alternate 

means of travel between 11th Street and 

I–35 South as well as provide additional 

access to Des Moines, West Des Moines, 

and Warren County. 

Alternatives under consideration 

include: (1) Taking no action; (2) 

widening existing roadways; and, (3) 

constructing a roadway on a new 

location. The build alternative will 

include consideration of various 

alignments and grades. 

Letters describing the proposed action 

and soliciting comments will be sent to 

appropriate Federal, State, and local 

agencies, and to private organizations 

and citizens who have previously 

expressed or are known to have interest 

in this proposal. A series of public 

meetings will be held in 2007 and 2008. 

In addition, a public hearing will be 

held upon completion of the draft EIS. 

Public notice will be given of the time 

and place of the public meetings and 

public hearing. The draft EIS will be 

available for public and agency review 

and comment prior to the public 

hearing. 

A scoping meeting (the initial public 

meeting) will be held identifying 

significant issues to be addressed in the 

environmental impact statement. The 

date and location of the scoping meeting 

have not yet been determined but will 

be advertised in various local media. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to this proposed action is 

addressed and all significant issues are 

identified, comments and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning this 

proposed action and the EIS should be 

directed to the FHWA or Iowa 

Department of Transportation at the 

address provided in the caption FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
