SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the St. Cloud

terminated the Tier I EIS process begun in 2002 to address the need for 
improved east/west minor arterial continuity, land use and trip 
generation growth, and forecasted 2025 congestion on existing bridges. 
The purpose of the Tier I EIS was to preserve right of way for the 
proposed highway improvement, including a crossing of the Mississippi 
River. The Scoping Decision Document for the project was approved by 
Stearns and Sherburne Counties on June 14, 2005 and April 21, 2005, 
respectively. An Amended Scoping Decision Document for the project was 
approved by Stearns and Sherburne Counties on September 8, 2006 and 
September 15, 2006, respectively. The conclusion of the Amended Scoping 
Decision Document was to separate the project into two independent 
projects by dividing the project at the intersection of Stearns County 
State Aid Highway (CSAH) 75. The first of these two projects (the 33rd 
Street Project), will extend from TH 15 easterly along existing 33rd 
Street South to its junction with CSAH 75. The second project (the 
Mississippi River Crossing Project) will extend from CSAH 75 easterly 
to TH 10 in Sherburne County. On October 3, 2006, the St. Cloud Area 
Planning Organization notified Federal, State and local agencies; 
interested parties; and the public that work on the 33rd Street Project 
would proceed as an Environmental Assessment and that the Tier I EIS 
for the Mississippi River Crossing Project would proceed at an 
undetermined future date. Therefore, the EIS for this project has been 
terminated.
