FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Donald Neumann, Programs Engineer,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Missouri 
Highway and Transportation Department will prepare an Environmental 
Impact Statement (EIS) for a proposal to improve transportation in the 
US-50 corridor in Franklin, Gasconade and Osage Counties, Missouri. A 
Major Transportation Investment Analysis will be required for the 
Franklin County portion which lies within the St. Louis metropolitan 
area. The study area extends from Interstate Route 44 to US-63, a 
distance of 110 km along the US-50 corridor. Improvements to the 
corridor are considered necessary to provide for the existing and 
projected traffic demand. Alternatives will be determined subsequent to 
all scoping meetings.
    Letters 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 expressed interest in this 
proposal. A series of public meetings will be held in Linn, Osage 
County and Union, Franklin County, between November 1995 and July 1996. 
In addition, public hearings will be held. Public notice will be given 
of the time and place of the meetings and hearings. The draft EIS will 
be made available for public and agency review and comment.
    To ensure that the full range of issues related to the 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 or to the MHTD at the addresses provided above.
