AGENCY: U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Withdrawal of the Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS 
for the improvements to I-515 in Clark County, Nevada.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that, 
effective immediately, the Notice of Intent (NOI) (Federal Register 
Vol. 69, No. 156; FR Doc 04-18584) to prepare an EIS for the proposed 
improvements to I-515 in the cities of Las Vegas and Henderson, Clark

between the two cities, is being withdrawn. The NOI for the EIS was

Administration, 705 N. Plaza, Suite 220, Carson City, NV 89701, 
Telephone: 775-687-1231, email: [email protected]. For the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The project was to involve improvements to 
the I-515 Corridor between the southern terminus of the present I-515 
Freeway in the City of Henderson (MP56) and the northern terminus of I-
515 in the City of Las Vegas (MP76). The purpose of the project was to 
make improvements to the corridor necessary to provide for existing and 
projected traffic demand resulting from the growth of interstate 
traffic and local commuter traffic in the southeast Las Vegas Valley. 
Because of the economic downturn, FHWA and NDOT are reassessing the 
needs and timing for improvements to the I-515 Corridor and have 
indefinitely postponed any major improvements to the corridor.
