# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The FHWA, in cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) has terminated the EIS process begun in 2003 to address future transportation demand, safety problems, access management, interregional corridor status, and system continuity on TH 10 from 620th Avenue in Bluffton, Otter Tail County to approximately 1.5 miles east of Wadena, Wadena County, Minnesota, a distance of approximately 6.5 miles. The Scoping Decision Document for the project was approved by Mn/DOT on April 6, 2004. In June 2008, Mn/DOT issued a press release to notify the agencies and public that work on the EIS was being discontinued after the Draft EIS studies were unable to identify a safety or capacity need for expansion of TH 10 in the project area. Therefore, the EIS for this project has been terminated.
