SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Georgia
Department of Transportation (GDOT), will prepare a supplemental draft
EIS on a proposal to construct a four-lane limited access highway on
new location from the terminus of the existing Phase I segment at
Derenne Avenue to the Abercorn Street extension. The project length is
approximately 10.3 km. The proposed project is necessary to provide
additional capacity to mitigate congestion for north-south traffic on
the east side of Savannah.
A draft EIS for this project was approved on February 20, 1997;
however, due to a recent discovery of an active bald eagle's nest near
the applicant's preferred alternate, a supplemental draft EIS will be
prepared. Letters describing this action and soliciting comments will
be sent to the appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies. A public
hearing will be held and a public notice will be given of the time and
place of the hearing. Comments or questions concerning the supplemental
draft EIS should be directed to the FHWA at the address provided above.
