Counties, NC
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
ACTION: Notice of intent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that an
environmental impact statement will be prepared for a proposed highway
project in Brunswick and New Hanover Counties, North Carolina.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Clarence W. Coleman, PE., Operations
Engineer, Federal Highway Administration, 310 New Bern Avenue, Suite
410, Raleigh, North Carolina 27601-1418, Telephone: (919) 856-4346.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the North
Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and the North Carolina
Turnpike Authority (NCTA), will prepare an environmental impact
statement (EIS) on a proposal to construct a multi-lane highway
facility in Brunswick and New Hanover Counties, North Carolina. Known
as the Cape Fear Skyway, the proposed improvement would extend from US
17 in Brunswick County, near the community of Bishop, to US 421 in the
city of Wilmington for a distance of approximately 9.5 miles. The
project would include a crossing of the Cape Fear River.
The proposed highway facility is considered necessary as a means to
improve regional traffic flow, enhance access to the North Carolina
Ports, improve emergency service response times and facilitate
emergency evacuation. Preliminary alternatives to be evaluated include
(1) taking no action (2) Transportation System Management (TSM); (3)
Transportation Demand Management (TDM); (4) Mass Transit; and (5)
constructing a multi-lane facility on new location with full control of
access. Incorporated into and studied with the various build
alternatives will be design variations of grade and alignment. The EIS
will address environmental, social, and economic impacts associated
with the development of the proposed action.
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 an interest in this proposal. A series of public meetings
will be held in the vicinity of the project throughout the development
of the EIS. In addition, a public hearing will be held. Public notice
will be given of the time and place of the meetings and hearing. The
draft EIS will be available for public and agency review and comment
prior to any public hearings being 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.
