Environmental Assessment

The EA analyzes potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed highway widening and interchange improvements pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. The EA analyzes two alternatives, the Build Alternative and the No Build Alternative and presents the impacts to various natural, cultural and community resources located within the project area and the proposed mitigation to offset those impacts.  The Build Alternative meets the project needs while minimizing environmental impacts and addressing public and agency feedback.
