Environmental Impact Statement; Cape

Girardeau County, Missouri

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 will be

prepared for proposed improvements to

the transportation system in Cape

Girardeau County, Missouri.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Donald Neumann, Programs Engineer,

FHWA Division Office, P.O. Box 1787,

Jefferson City, MO 65102, Telephone:

(573) 636–7104 or Scott Meyer, District

Engineer, Missouri Department of

Transportation, P.O. Box 160, Sikeston,

MO 63801, Telephone: (573) 472–5333.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the

Missouri Department of Transportation

(MoDOT), will prepare an

environmental impact statement (EIS)

for a proposed project to improve the

transportation system in the vicinity of

Missouri Route 25 in Cape Girardeau

County, Missouri.

Improvements to the corridor are

considered necessary to provide for a

safe and efficient transportation

network. Alternatives under

consideration include (1) taking no

action; (2) using alternative travel

modes; (3) upgrading and improving the

existing roadways; and (4) constructing

a four-lane roadway on new or partiallynew location. Design variations of grade

and alignment will be incorporated into

and studied with the various build

alternatives. The proposed action will

likely include transportation

improvements from the intersection of

Missouri Routes 25 and 77 northeast of

Delta, Missouri to the new Route 74

interchange with Interstate 55 in Cape

Girardeau, Missouri.

The scoping process will involve all

appropriate federal, state, and local

agencies, and 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 to engaged the regional

community in the decision making

process, and to obtain public comment.

Public meetings are tentatively

scheduled for fall, 1997 and spring

1998. In addition, a public hearing will

be held to present the findings of the

draft EIS (DEIS). The DEIS will be

available for public and agency review

and comment prior to the 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.
