Environmental Impact Statement:
Shelby County, TN
Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of Intent.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this
notice to advise the public that a
supplement to a Final Environmental
Impact Statement will be prepared for a
proposed highway project in Shelby
County, Tennessee.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Walter Boyd, Field Operations Team
Leader, Federal Highway
Administration, 640 Grassmere Park
Road, Suite 112, Nashville, Tennessee

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the
Tennessee Department of
Transportation, the City of Memphis,
and Shelby County, Tennessee, will
prepare a supplement to the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the proposed Kirby Parkway in
Shelby County, Tennessee. The original
EIS for the Kirby Parkway project, a new
north-south route in the East Memphis
area (FHWA–TN–EIS–86–02–F) was
approved on August 21, 1991. The
proposed route, which begins at Split
Oak Drive and proceeds northward
approximately 10 miles to Stage Road,
would consist of improving some
existing roads and some construction on
new alignment. The project would
provide two to three traffic lanes in each
direction and either a continuous center
lane or a raised median with turning
lanes.
The EIS supplement will be prepared
for Kirby Parkway from I–240 north to

I–40. The portion of the project from
Macon Road south of I–40 to Stage Road
north of I–40 has been constructed and
opened to traffic. A Walnut Grove Road
bridge over the Wolf River has been
designed and will be constructed
beginning in 2005. The segment from
Walnut Grove Road at the Wolf River to
Macon Road, passing through Shelby
Farms, has not been designed and will
be reassessed to determine if a new
route location farther to the west would
be appropriate. This alignment shift
through Shelby Farms will be
considered in response to public
comments and to minimize potential
adverse effects. The purpose for
preparing the EIS supplement is to
determine whether there are new
circumstances in the project area and to
study modified alternative alignments to
determine whether new significant
impacts would occur as a result of the
modification to the proposed project.
Alternatives under consideration
include (1) taking no action to construct
a new facility between Walnut Grove
Road and Macon Road; (2) constructing
a multi-lane highway on the approved
location; and (3) constructing a multilane highway partially on the approved
location and on new location through
Shelby Farms. Various design options of
grade, alignment, and typical section
will be incorporated into and studied
with the proposed build alternatives.
Roadway design will be in conformance
with the major road plan for Shelby
County. The primary purpose of the
proposed project is to relieve congestion
in the East Memphis area.
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 previously
expressed or are known to have interest
in this proposal. Public meetings are
planned for February and July of 2005.
In addition, a public hearing will be
held. Public notice will be given of the
time and place of the meeting and
hearing. The draft Supplemental EIS
will be available for public and agency
review and comment prior to the public
hearing. No formal scoping meeting will
be held.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related to this 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 at the address
provided above.
