SUMMARY:

The FHWA is issuing this revised notice to advise the public that FHWA and WisDOT will not prepare a Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for long-range transportation improvements in the WIS 47 corridor in Outagamie and Shawano Counties, Wisconsin. A Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS was published in the Federal Register on November 18, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The FHWA, in cooperation with WisDOT, will not prepare an EIS as previously intended on long-range improvements to address transportation demand, traffic operations, safety concerns, and corridor preservation needs on an approximate 33-mile portion of WIS 47 between US 41 in Outagamie County and WIS 29 in Shawano County. The EIS for this corridor is no longer needed because sufficient funds are not available at this time to program design or construction projects that would result from this study.
