SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this
notice to advise the public that a Tier 1
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
will be prepared for a proposed toll
highway facility in the vicinity of
Lafayette, Louisiana.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
William Farr, Program Operations
Manager, Federal Highway
Administration, 5304 Flanders Drive,
Suite A, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70808,
Telephone: (225) 757–7615, or Mr.
Michael Mangham, Commission
Chairperson, Lafayette Metropolitan
Expressway Commission, 406 Audubon
Boulevard, Lafayette, Louisiana 70503,
Telephone: (337) 233–6200, or Dr. Eric
Kalivoda, Assistant Secretary, Office of
Planning and Programming, Louisiana
Department of Transportation and
Development, PO Box 94245, Baton
Rouge, LA 70804–9245. Project
information may be obtained from the
project Internet Web site at https://

project.htm.
The
FHWA, in cooperation with the
Lafayette Metropolitan Expressway
Commission (LMEC), and the Louisiana
Department of Transportation and
Development (LADOTD), will prepare a
Tier 1 EIS on corridor alternatives for
the proposed Lafayette Metropolitan
Expressway to connect on new location
to I–49 north of Lafayette, LA, I–10 west
of Lafayette, LA, and US 90 south of
Lafayette, LA. The proposed facility
would be a controlled access toll road

on new location with interchanges with
I–10, I–49, and Johnston Street.
Interchanges with other connecting
cross streets will also be considered.
The proposed facility would initially
have four lanes with provision to
expand to six lanes.
The new facility is considered
necessary to provide for existing and
future traffic demand and to improve
the hurricane evacuation system.
At a minimum, the current project
will examine, in addition to the no
build alternative, three corridor build
alternatives that were identified in the
Lafayette Metropolitan Expressway
Feasibility Study. Three corridors were
identified in the study that ranged in
length from 31 to 38 miles. The
implementation cost estimate, including
planning, design, right of way
acquisition, and construction, was
generally about the same for the various
corridors ($760 million in 2005 dollars).
Letters describing the proposed action
and soliciting comments will be sent to
appropriate Federal, State, local
agencies, tribes, elected officials and to
private organizations and citizens who
have previously expressed or are known
to have interest in this proposal. Public
meetings will be held. In addition, a
public hearing will be held. Public
notice will be given of the time and
place of the public meetings and public
hearing. The draft EIS will be available
for public and agency review and
comment prior to the public hearing. A
formal scoping meeting will be held
upon initiation of this project. Public
scoping meetings will be scheduled to
provide the public with information
about the project and an opportunity to
assist in formulating the scope of the
study.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related to this proposed project 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.
