Environmental Impact Statement: Audrain, Monroe, Pike and Ralls 
Counties, 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 northeast Missouri.

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

[[Page 45511]]
Routes 54, 19 and 107 in Audrain, Monroe, Pike, and Ralls counties, 
Missouri, a distance of approximately 113 kilometers (70 miles). The 
study area is roughly bounded by Bowling Green, New London, Mark Twain 
Lake and Mexico.
    The expansion of Routes 54, 19, and 107 is being considered to 
provide additional capacity for future traffic volumes, preserve land 
for a future transportation corridor, and meet the state's commitment 
to connect communities of at least 5,000 population with a four-lane 
roadway.
    Alternatives under consideration include (1) no build, (2) widen 
Routes 54 and 19 to four lanes along their present alignments and new 
alignment, (3) extend Route 107 to the south as a two-lane roadway, and 
(4) bypass the cities of Perry, Curryville, Center, Vandalia, Laddonia, 
and Farber.
    Information describing the proposed action and soliciting comments 
will be sent to appropriate federal, state and local agencies, and to 
private organizations and citizens who have previously expressed, or 
would have an interest in the proposal. As part of the scoping process, 
an interagency coordination meeting will be held. A series of public 
meetings and workshops will be held throughout project development. In 
addition, a public hearing will be held. Public notices will be issued 
to notify citizens of the public meetings and hearing. The Draft EIS 
will be available for public and agency review and comment prior to the 
public hearing.
    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. 
Comments and questions concerning this proposed action and the EIS 
should be directed to the FHWA or the MHTD at the addresses provided 
above.

    Issued on: August 24, 1995.
Donald L. Neumann,
Programs Engineer, Jefferson City.
