SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

involve reconstruction of the existing
SR–108 between SR–127 (West
Antelope Drive) in Syracuse and SR–
126 (1900 West) in West Haven, a
distance of about 9.5 miles. The project
would go through the cites of Syracuse,

Haven, Utah.
Improvements to SR–108 are
necessary to provide for projected 2035
travel demand, and improve safety and
regional mobility. Alternatives under
consideration include (1) Taking noaction (no-build); (2) using alternative
travel modes; (3) employing access
control and transportation demand
management to improve the efficiency
of the existing road network; and (4)
widening the existing two-lane roadway
to five lanes or the appropriate number
of lanes to address travel demand needs.
Incorporated into and studied with the
various build alternatives will be design
variations for key intersections along the
roadway. In addition, alternatives
identified in the scoping process will be
evaluated in the EIS.
Letters describing the proposed action
and soliciting comments will be sent to
appropriate Federal, State, and local
agencies, and to private organizations
