Environmental Impact Statement: Oklahoma County, Oklahoma

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that an 
Environment Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared for the proposed 
highway project in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bruce A. Lind, Acting Division 
Administrator, Federal Highway Administration, 200 Northwest Fifth 
Street, Room 454, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102, Telephone: (405) 231-
4725.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Oklahoma 
Department of Transportation, will prepare an EIS in conjunction with a 
Major Investment Study (MIS) for a proposal to improve Interstate 40 in 
Oklahoma County. The proposed improvement would involve reconstructing 
Interstate 40 from the I-40/Meridian Avenue interchange east 9.6 
kilometers (6 miles) to the I-40/1235/1-35 interchange in Oklahoma 
City, Oklahoma County. Improvements to this segment of Interstate 40 
are considered necessary to provide for the projected traffic demand, 
to enhance safety and to replace structurally deficient bridge 
structures.
    The MIS/EIS will consider a number of alternatives including: 
taking no action, reconstruction on existing alignment and construction 
on new alignment and incorporate mass transit alternatives currently 
under study.
    The MIS/EIS process will solicit input from all appropriate 
Federal, State and local agencies. A public hearing will be held. 
Public notice will be given of the time and place of the hearing. The 
draft EIS will be available for public agency review and comment.
    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 or 
questions concerning this proposed action and the EIS should be 
directed to the FHWA at the address provided above.
