SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the Florida
Department of Transportation, will
prepare an EIS for a third east-west
bridge crossing over the North Fork of
the St. Lucie River in the City of Port St.
Lucie, in St. Lucie County, Florida. The
proposed improvement would link the
Crosstown Parkway on the west to U.S.

was formerly known as the Third EastWest River Crossing Study. The
proposed action would provide needed

Alternative and multiple alternatives
that provide a river crossing on a new
alignment. Expansion of the two
existing river crossings was previously
considered and determined to be
infeasible.
Coordination with appropriate
Federal, State, and local agencies, and
private organizations and citizens who
have expressed interest in this proposal
has been ongoing and will continue. A
series of public meetings and workshops
have been held in Port St. Lucie as part
of the planning efforts for this project
and will continue throughout the EIS
process. A formal scoping meeting is
planned for this project and is
anticipated to occur in August of 2008.
In addition, public workshops and a
public hearing will be held. Public
notice will be given of the time and
place of the hearing and for future
meetings. The Draft EIS will be made
available for public and agency review
and comment before the public hearing
date.
To ensure that the full range of issues

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
FHWA, Mississippi Division Office will
serve as the lead Federal agency for this
project while the Mississippi
Department of Transportation (MDOT)
will serve as joint lead agency. The
FHWA, in cooperation with MDOT, will
prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) to study potential
improvements to State Route 15 (SR 15)
in order to provide a four-lane facility.
This approximately 35-mile long
corridor has logical termini near Ramsey
Springs in Stone County and on U. S.
Highway 98 near Beaumont, MS in
Perry County.
The purpose of the EIS is to address
the transportation, environmental, and
safety issues of such a transportation
corridor. The Transportation facility
will greatly enhance Hurricane
evacuation from the Mississippi Gulf,
provide a new four-lane facility, and
meet legislative intent. Alternatives
under consideration include (1) taking
no action and (2) build alternatives.
The FHWA and MDOT are seeking
input as a part of the scoping process to
assist in determining and clarifying
issues relative to this project. Letters
describing the proposed action and
soliciting comments will be sent to
appropriate federal, state, and local
agencies, Native American tribes,
private organizations and citizens who
have previously expressed or are known
to have interest in this proposal. A
formal scoping meeting with federal,
state, and local agencies, and other
interested parties will be held in the
near future. Public involvement
meetings will be held during the EIS
process. The draft EIS will be available
for public and agency review and
