Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement:

Bellevue, King County, WA

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Revised Notice of Intent (ref.

12–1–94, FR Vol. 59, No.230)

SUMMARY: The Federal Highway

Administration is issuing this notice to

advise the public that the purpose and

scope of the Environmental Impact

Statement proposed in the notice

published in the Federal Register of

December 1, 1994, has been

substantially modified. The original NOI

stated that an environmental impact

statement (EIS) would be prepared for a

proposed modification to a freeway

interchange in King County,

Washington, and that the modification

would include realignment of the NE

8th St./I–405 interchange and

implementation of a one-way couplet

along NE 8th and NE 10th Streets.’’ The

scope of the proposes EIS will be

expanded to include other alternatives

that would add or modify access points

on I–405 from NE 4th Street to NE 10th

Street and improve traffic circulation

between I–405 and downtown Bellevue.

Bellevue Transportation Department,

P.O. Box 90012, Bellevue Washington

98009–9012, Telephone: (202) 455–

6867.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the

Washington State Department of

Transportation and the City of Bellevue,

Washington, will prepare an

environmental impact statement (EIS)

on a proposal to modify I–405 access to

and from downtown Bellevue. The

proposed improvements are considered

necessary to accommodate the existing

and projected traffic demand between

downtown Bellevue and I–405, to

relieve existing traffic congestion at the

I–405/NE 8th Street freeway

interchange, and to support improved

high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) access

and usage.

Three build alternatives and a noaction alternative are presently under

consideration. One build alternative

would modify the interchange to

provide I–405 access to NE 10th Street

and to modify I–405 access from NE 8th

Street. This alternative would include

new ramps connecting NE 10th Street

with I–405 and modifications to the

existing ramps connecting NE 8th Street

to I–405. It would also convert NE 8th

and NE 10th Streets from I–405 to

Bellevue Way to a one-way couplet

system (both streets have two-way

traffic at present) and provide for

additional lanes at the intersection of

NE 8th Street and 116th Avenue. This

alternative was the only build

alternative under consideration when

the original Notice of Intent was issued.

The second build alternative would

widen the NE 8th Street/I–405 overpass,

modify the existing southbound I–405

off-ramp at NE 8th Street, and construct

a new HOV/transit interchange at NE

6th Street/I–405. NE 8th Street and the

I–405 overpass would be widened from

west of 112th Avenue to east of 116th

Avenue to include an additional

eastbound lane and provide for dual left

turn lanes at the NE 8th Street/116th

Avenue intersection. The existing

southbound I–405 off-ramp to

westbound NE 8th Street would also be

modified to divert traffic to NE 10th

Street. In conjunction with this ramp

modification, 112th Avenue would be

widened from NE 8th Street to NE 10th

Street. The alternative would construct

new ramps to the proposed I–405 inside

HOV lanes at NE 6th Street and remove

the existing HOV restrictions at NE 4th

Street and I–405. The third build

alternative would construct a new twoway viaduct over I–405 connecting NE

8th Street to NE 10th Street, provide I–

405 access to and from NE 10th Street,

and modify an existing I–405 on-ramp at

NE 8th Street. The new two-way

viaduct, with one lane in each direction,

would connect NE 8th Street east of

116th Avenue to NE 10th Street at 112th

Avenue. The existing southbound to

westbound I–405 off-ramp at NE 8th

Street would be relocated to NE 10th St.

A new on-ramp would be constructed

on NE 10th Street to provide new access

to southbound I–405. In addition, NE

10th Street would be widened between

112th and 110th Avenue. The existing

westbound to southbound I–405 onramp at NE 8th would be modified to

accommodate these changes.

This EIS is being prepared because

City of Bellevue officials believe that the

project could have significant impacts

related to land use and development

and to visual quality. Although air

quality is an issue of concern, no

significant air quality impact are
