Environmental Impact Statement: Greene County, MO

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that an 
environmental impact statement will be prepared for a proposed project 
in Greene County, Missouri.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Donald Neumann, Federal Highway Administration, P.O. Box 1787, 
Jefferson City, MO 65102, Telephone Number 314-636-7104; or Mr. Bob 
Sfreddo, Design Engineer, Missouri Highway and Transportation 
Department, P.O. Box 270, Jefferson City, MO 65102, Telephone Number 
314-751-2876.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Missouri 
Highway and Transportation Department (MHTD), will prepare an 
environmental impact statement (EIS) on a proposal to upgrade Missouri 
Route 160 to a dual-lane facility from Route 60 to the James River 
Freeway in Greene County, Missouri. An MHTD reconnaissance report 
determined that the upgrade of Route 160 would accomplish several 
goals: (1) Provide a system link between Route 60 and the James River 
Freeway, (2) improve safety and capacity for through-traffic, and (3) 
promote economic development and planned growth in the city of 
Springfield and Greene County.
    1. The proposed highway project runs approximately 2.2 miles 
between Route 60 and the James River Freeway in Greene County. The 
proposed facility would provide a four-lane, limited-access roadway 
with at-grade intersections or interchanges at major arterial 
crossroads.
    2. Alternatives under consideration include ``build'' alternatives 
and a ``no build'' alternative, as well as mass transit and 
transportation system management options.
    3. To date, preliminary information has been issued to local 
officials and other interested parties. The scoping process will be 
initiated with Federal, State, and local agencies as the study 
progresses. Further public hearings will be held. To ensure that the 
full range of issues related to this proposed action are addressed and 
all significant issues are identified, comments and suggestions are 
invited from all interested parties. Any comments or questions 
concerning this proposed action and the EIS should be directed to the 
FHWA or the Missouri Highway and Transportation Department at the 
addresses provided above.
