environmental impact statement (EIS)
will be prepared for proposed
improvements to Route 47 between
Route 94 in Warren County and Fifth
Street in the city of Washington in
Franklin County, Missouri.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Peggy Casey, Environmental Projects
Engineer, FHWA Division Office, 3220
West Edgewood, Suite H, Jefferson City,
MO 65109, Telephone: (573) 636–7104;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the
Missouri Department of Transportation
(MoDOT), will prepare an EIS for the
replacement of the existing bridge over
the Missouri River and relocation or
reconstruction of Route 47 between
Route 94 in Warren County and Fifth
Street in the city of Washington in
Franklin County, Missouri. A location
study will run concurrently with the
preparation of the EIS and will provide
definitive alternatives for evaluation in
the EIS. The EIS will fully analyze the
issues, problems, and potential social
and environmental impacts associated
with improving or realigning Route 47
and constructing a new bridge. The
goals of the proposed action are to
improve safety, reduce congestion, and
improve the reliability of Route 47
during Missouri River flood events.
The proposed project is located
between Route 94 on the north in
Warren County and Fifth Street on the
south in the city of Washington in
Franklin County. The project is
approximately 4 miles in length.
Alternatives under consideration
include (1) no build; (2) bridge
replacement on existing location with

improvements to the existing alignment;
and (3) new alignments.
To date, preliminary information has
been issued to local officials. As part of
the scoping process, an interagency
coordination meeting will be held with
federal and state resource agencies. In
addition, informational meetings with
the public and community
representatives will be held to solicit
input on the project and reasonable
range of alternatives. A location public
hearing will be held to present the
findings of the draft EIS (DEIS). Public
notice will be given announcing the
time and place of all public meetings
and the hearing. The DEIS will be
available for public and agency review
and comment prior to the public
hearing.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related to this proposed action are
addressed and all significant issues are
identified, comments and suggestions
are invited from all interested parties.
Comments and questions concerning
this proposed action and the EIS should
be directed to the FHWA or MoDOT at
the addresses provided above. Concerns
in the study area include potential
impacts to natural resources, cultural
resources, and neighborhoods at the
southern end of the study area.
Improvements to the existing alignment
could impact cultural resources and
adjacent residences. Realignment of
Route 47 with a new bridge location
would have increased cost and natural
(floodplain, wetland) and human
impacts.
