SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the Georgia

Department of Transportation (GDOT),

will prepare a supplemental draft EIS on

a proposal to construct a four-lane

limited access highway on new location

from the terminus of the existing Phase

I segment at Derenne Avenue to the

Abercorn Street extension. The project

length is approximately 10.3 km. The

proposed project is necessary to provide

additional capacity to mitigate

congestion for north-south traffic on the

east side of Savannah.

A draft EIS for this project was

approved on February 20, 1997;

however, due to a recent discovery of an

active bald eagle’s nest near the

applicant’s preferred alternate, a

supplemental draft EIS will be prepared.

Letters describing this action and

soliciting comments will be sent to the

appropriate Federal, State, and local

agencies. A public hearing will be held

and a public notice will be given of the

time and place of the hearing.

Comments or questions concerning the

supplemental draft EIS should be

directed to the FHWA at the address

provided above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the

Nebraska Department of Roads, the

South Dakota Department of

Transportation, and the City of Yankton,

South Dakota, will prepare an

environmental impact statement (EIS)

for a proposal to construct a bridge over

the Missouri River. The proposed

project would connect Yankton County,

South Dakota and Cedar County,

Nebraska, in the vinicity of Yankton,

South Dakota.

Alternatives under consideration

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

replacing the US 81 Bridge on the

existing alignment; and (3) providing a

new crossing upstream or downstream

from the existing alignment.

The US 81 Bridge has been listed as

a historic landmark in the National

Register of Historic Places. The existing

bridge consists of two concrete decks;

the upper deck providing one lane of

northbound traffic into Yankton and the

lower deck serving one lane of

southbound traffic into Cedar County,

Nebraska.

An agency scoping meeting was held

on December 10, 1996 and a public

scoping meeting is planned. A Draft EIS

will be prepared and a public hearing

will be held. Public notice will be given

of the public scoping meeting and

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 and questions concerning

this proposed action and the EIS should

be directed to the FHWA or the

Nebraska Department of Roads at the

address provided.
