Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on the George Washington 
Memorial Parkway, Virginia

AGENCY: National Park Service.

ACTION: Availability of the Decision Notice and FONSI for the proposal 
to Rehabilitate the Bridge over the North Entrance to Ronald Reagan 
Washington National Airport on the George Washington Memorial Parkway, 
Virginia.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Council on Environmental Quality regulations and 
National Park Service policy, the National Park Service (NPS) announces 
the availability of the Decision Notice and FONSI for the 
Rehabilitation of the Bridge over the North Entrance to Ronald Reagan 
Washington National Airport. The Decision Notice and FONSI identifies 
Alternative B as selected by the NPS for action. It is the preferred 
and environmentally preferred alternative in the Environmental 
Assessment. Under this alternative, the NPS, in cooperation with the 
Federal Highway Administration, will rehabilitate the historic bridge 
over the north entrance to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on 
the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP). The rehabilitation of 
the bridge includes the replacement of the bridge decking, replacement 
of guardrails and railings, and construction of a shoulder extension to 
realign the Mount Vernon Trail. The shoulder extension and trail 
realignment will allow the NPS to spatially and physically separate 
trail users from northbound traffic on the GWMP.

DATES: The Environmental Assessment, upon which the decision and FONSI 
were made, was available for public comment for 30 days on April 19, 
2004. One response was received and addressed on the document.

ADDRESSES: The Decision Notice and FONSI will be available for public 
inspection Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. through 4 p.m. at the GWMP 
Headquarters, Turkey Run Park, McLean, Virginia. The FONSI can also be 
viewed on the GWMP Web site at http://www.nps.gov/gwmp.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Decision Notice and FONSI completes the 
Environmental Assessment process.
