SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers, and the Utah

Department of Transportation will

prepare an EIS for transportation

improvements in the corridor from I–80

and 5600 West Street northward and

eastward to the Farmington-Kaysville,

Utah area. The north terminus has not

been determined. A revised notice of

intent will be issued when a

determination is made. The proposed

improvement would involve

construction of approximately 17 miles

of limited access, divided highway

along a new alignment.

To provide for local and regional

projected travel demands, the Western

Transportation Corridor Major

Investment Study (MIS) has identified

the need for an additional north-south

route in the corridor. System

connections to I–215 near the Salt Lake

International Airport and to SR–89 and

I–15 near Farmington as well as other

appropriate interchanges would be

included.

Alternatives that will be considered in

this study include: (1) taking no action;

(2) transportation system management,

and (3) build alternatives. The findings

of the MIS will be incorporated to the

maximum extent possible.

Transportation build alternatives to be

studied include, but are not limited to:

two alternative alignments from I–80

and 5600 West Street to a point

northeast of the airport, two alignments

northward to Farmington, and two

alternative connections to SR–89 and I–

15 at Farmington.

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. Scoping meetings are

planned to be held in April. Additional

public involvement activities will take

place as EIS studies progress and a

public hearing will be held after the

draft EIS has been prepared. Public

notice will be given of the time and

place of meeting and hearing. The draft

EIS will be available for public and

agency review and comment prior to the

public hearing.

To ensure that a full range of issues

related to this proposed action are

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.
