ACTION: Federal notice of intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). AGENCY: Pursuant to applicable Federal regulations, FHWA, on behalf of TxDOT, is issuing this notice to advise the public that an EIS will be prepared for a proposed transportation project CSJ 0918–46–341, to construct a six-lane freeway primarily on new location connecting Interstate 35 (I–35) in Denton County, Texas with the Dallas North Tollway (DNT) in Collin County, Texas. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Liang Ding, P.E., Project Manager, TxDOT Dallas District, 4777 East Highway 80, Mesquite, Texas 75150; Phone (214) 320–6625; email: khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:11 Sep 25, 2024 Jkt 262001 Liang.Ding@txdot.gov. TxDOT’s normal business hours are 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. (central time), Monday through Friday. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by TxDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 9, 2019, and executed by FHWA and TxDOT. The purpose of the proposed action is to address population and travel demand growth and support safe and resilient east-west mobility and connectivity across Denton County. The need for the proposed action is driven by (a) rapid population growth and increasing traffic volumes that are contributing to congestion, (b) higher crash rates along Study Area roadways compared to the statewide average, and (c) limited mobility due to the lack of contiguous east-west arterials. The proposed six-lane accesscontrolled freeway with one-way frontage roads on each side would be constructed within an anticipated typical right-of-way footprint 500 feet wide and extend about 23 miles across northern Denton County connecting I– 35 to the DNT in Collin County, CSJ 0918–46–341. In addition to the build alternatives, project alternatives to be considered include the No-Build Alternative, transit and other transportation modes, and transportation system management. In May 2024, Denton County concluded the Denton County Outer Loop Feasibility Study that recommended two general end-to-end alignments for the construction of the proposed freeway connecting I–35 and the DNT. This EIS will evaluate four build alternatives and the No-Build Alternative. The following five segments from the recommended feasibility study alignments combine to form the four build alternatives under consideration: Segment A connects I–35 on the west along a primarily new location alignment to Farm-to-Market (FM) Road 428 near FM 2153. Segment A follows a section of Rector Rd. from I–35 to Trietsch Rd. Segment B also connects I–35 on the west on a primarily new location alignment to FM 428 near FM 2153. Segment B follows a portion of Milam Rd. from I–35 to FM 2164. Segment C is the common segment for all four build alternatives considered, extending along the existing alignment of FM 428 between FM 2153 and Wildcat Rd. which crosses the Elm Fork Trinity River and the Ray Roberts Lake PO 00000 Frm 00129 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 78969 State Park Greenbelt in the center of the Study Area. Segment D connects Wildcat Rd. on the west to the DNT on the east in Collin County. Segment D is primarily on new location except where it follows sections of FM 428 between FM 1385 and the DNT. Segment E also connects Wildcat Rd. on the west to the DNT on the east in Collin County. Segment E is primarily on new location except where it follows sections of Blackjack Rd. and FM 428 between FM 1385 and the DNT. These segments, when linked end-toend connecting the logical termini of I– 35 and the DNT, result in the Red, Purple, Blue, and Gold Alternatives described below. The Red Alternative is composed of Segments A, C, and D for a length of about 23.3 miles. The Red Alternative begins at I–35 and Rector Rd. in Denton County and travels east to FM 2164, then curves north and back south to connect to FM 428 near FM 2153. It follows FM 428 over the Elm Fork Trinity River to slightly west of the City of Aubrey where it curves around the north edge of Aubrey crossing US 377, to continue east, then curving south to connect to FM 428/Spring Hill Rd. west of FM 1385, and continues east along the general alignment of FM 428 to connect to the DNT in Collin County. Grade-separated interchanges would be considered at I–35, US 377, the DNT, and other major road crossings. The Purple Alternative, about 22.7 miles long, is composed of Segments A, C, and E. It begins at I–35 and Rector Rd. in Denton County and travels east to FM 2164, then curves north and back south to connect to existing FM 428 near FM 2153. It follows FM 428 over the Elm Fork Trinity River to slightly west of the City of Aubrey where it curves around the north edge of Aubrey crossing US 377, tying into Blackjack Rd. and following Blackjack Rd. to the east and curving south to cross FM 2931 to follow the general alignment of FM 428/Spring Hill Rd. to the east to connect to the DNT in Collin County. Grade-separated interchanges would be considered at I–35, US 377, the DNT, and other major road crossings. The Blue Alternative is composed of Segments B, C, and E for a length of about 22.4 miles. The Blue Alternative begins at I–35 and Milam Rd. extending east along Milam Rd. to FM 2164 where it curves north and east to follow Shepard Rd. and then curves south to connect to FM 428 near FM 2153. It follows FM 428 over the Elm Fork Trinity River to slightly west of the City of Aubrey where it curves around the north edge of Aubrey crossing US 377, E:\FR\FM\26SEN1.SGM 26SEN1
