The conversation topics included the purpose and need for the project, challenges of living near the freeway, what type of freeway the community would like to see, and potential community enhancements. The feedback received during these community conversations influenced the project’s revised purpose and need statement and aided in modifying the alternatives. NDOT surveyed unhoused people that live near the freeway in January 2023. A third public meeting was held in August 2023 to present revised alternatives, potential community enhancements, and preliminary environmental impacts. The public and agencies will have the opportunity to submit written comments during the 30-day scoping comment period beginning on the date of this NOI publication to identify the scope of issues and potential significant issues related to the proposed action that the Draft EIS should address. Monthly meetings with Cooperating Agencies and periodic meetings with Participating Agencies will be held throughout the environmental review process. The Draft Public Involvement Plan and the Draft Project Coordination Plan included with the Additional Project Information document describe how the public and agencies will continue to be engaged during the EIS process. FHWA and NDOT will conduct additional public and agency outreach for the Draft EIS. The Draft EIS will be available for public and agency review and comment prior to the Draft EIS Public Hearing.

of the Federal agency actions on the listed highway project will be 
barred unless the claim is filed on or before August 19, 2024. If the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA has taken 
final agency actions related to the I-94 East-West Corridor Project in 
Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. FHWA, in cooperation with WisDOT, prepared 
a Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and combined 
Supplemental Final EIS/Record of Decision (ROD) to reconstruct 
approximately 3.5 miles of I-94 from 70th Street to 16th Street in 
Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. The purpose of the I-94 East-West Corridor 
project is to address the deteriorated condition of I-94, obsolete 
roadway and bridge design, existing and future traffic demand, and high 
crash rates.
    The project includes reconstructing and adding a through lane along 
I-94 in each direction along its existing alignment; reconstructing the 
68th/70th Street interchange; reconstructing the Hawley Road 
interchange as a partial interchange; reconstruction of the Mitchell 
Boulevard interchange; reconstructing the existing system interchange 
at I-94/WIS 175/Brewers Boulevard (Stadium Interchange) as a diverging 
diamond service interchange; reconstructing the 35th Street and 27th 
Street interchanges; and local roadway improvements to offset impacts 
to local traffic from interchange modifications.
    The actions taken by the Federal agencies on this project, and laws 
under which such actions were taken, are described in the combined 
Supplemental Final EIS/ROD, approved on March 8, 2024, and in other 
documents in the FHWA or WisDOT project records. The combined 
Supplemental Final EIS/ROD, and other project records are available by 
contacting FHWA or WisDOT at the addresses provided above. The combined 
Supplemental Final EIS/ROD can also be viewed on the project website
