DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement: Clark

County, Nevada and Mohave County,

Arizona

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this

notice to advise the public that an

environmental impact statement (EIS)

will be prepared for a proposed highway

project in Clark County, Nevada and

Mohave County, Arizona.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Terry K. Haussler, Project Manager,

Federal Highway Administration, 555

Zang Street, Lakewood, Colorado 80228,

telephone 303–969–5916.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the Bureau

of Reclamation (Reclamation), National

Park Service, Nevada Department of

Transportation, and Arizona

Department of Transportation, will

prepare an EIS on a proposal to

construct a bridge across the Colorado

River near Hoover Dam. The FHWA is

resuming work on the EIS that

Reclamation initiated in 1989.

Reclamation published a notice of intent

in the Federal Register to prepare a

draft EIS (NOI Citation: 55 FR 19364,

May 9, 1990). Reclamation stopped

work on the project and subsequently

canceled the notice of intent to prepare

a draft EIS (60 FR 54382, October 23,

1995).

The purpose of the proposal is to

remove through-traffic and trucks from

the Hoover Dam crossing. Alternatives

under consideration include: (1) The

‘‘no build’’ alternative; (2) construction

of a bridge approximately 0.2 mile

upstream from Hoover Dam; (3)

construction of a bridge approximately

0.3 mile downstream from Hoover Dam;

and (4) construction of a bridge

approximately 1.0 mile downstream

from Hoover Dam. Alternatives 2, 3, and

4 also require approximately three miles

of associated new roadway construction.

Notices 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

expressed interest in this proposal.

Interagency meetings, public scoping

meetings and public hearings will be

held in the project area and in other

appropriate areas. Information on the

time and place of public scoping

meetings and public hearings will be

provided in the local news media. The
