SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the Indiana
Department of Transportation (INDOT)
and the Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT), will not prepare
an EIS as previously intended on a
proposal to evaluate alternative
alignments for the relocation of the two
CSXT railroad mainline tracks, the
north-south mainline and the east-west
mainline that traverses through the City
of Vincennes and portions of Knox
County, Indiana and Lawrence County,
Illinois. Based on further review of the
project and related impacts it was
determined that the scope of the project
would be reduced in scope from a
railroad relocation project requiring the
preparation of an environmental impact
statement to a series of spot
improvements where the roadway
bridges over the existing railroad. For
these improvements either an
environmental assessment or categorical
exclusions will be prepared.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA in cooperation with the
Tennessee Department of
Transportation will prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
on a proposal to improve State Route
126, also known as Memorial
Boulevard, from East Center Street in
Kingsport to Interstate 81, for a distance
of approximately 8.4 miles.
Alternatives to be considered include:
(1) No-build; (2) a Transportation
System Management (TSM) alternative
(3) one or more build alternatives that
could include constructing portions of
the roadway on new location, upgrading
existing SR 126, or a combination of
both, and (4) other alternatives that
might arise from public input. Public
scoping meetings have been conducted
for the project corridor. As part of the
scoping process, federal, state, and local
agencies and officials; private
organizations; citizens; and interest
groups met to identify issues of concern
and provide input on the purpose and
need for the project, range of
alternatives, methodology, and the
development of the Environmental
Impact Statement. A Coordination Plan
will be developed to include the public

plan will utilize the following outreach
efforts to provide information and
solicit input: newsletters, an internet
Web site, e-mail and direct mail,
informational meetings and briefings,
public hearings, and other efforts as
necessary and appropriate. A public
hearing will be held upon completion of

hearing. The Draft EIS 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

action should be directed to the FHWA
contact person identified above at the
