Federal Highway Administration April 23, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared for the proposed South Padre Island Second Access project in Cameron County, Texas. Publication of this Notice of Intent (NOI) will serve to rescind a previous NOI published in July 2003 for the same project. The proposed project would link State Highway (SH) 100 on the mainland with Park Road (PR) 100 on South Padre Island. Currently, vehicular access to South Padre Island is limited to the Queen Isabella Memorial Causeway connecting the City of Port Isabel and the Town of South Padre Island. The proposed project would provide a second connection from the Texas mainland to South Padre Island in Cameron County, Texas. The proposed project would consist of construction predominantly on new right-of- way.
