Notice To Rescind a Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement for Transportation Improvements on I-84 in Fairfield
County and New Haven County, CT
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice to Rescind a Notice of Intent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that,
effective immediately, we are rescinding the Notice of Intent (NOI) to
prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for proposed
transportation improvements along the I-84 Corridor in Fairfield County
and New Haven County, CT. The NOI was published in the Federal Register
(FR) on April 11, 2005 (FR Vol. 70, No. 68, p. 18454; FR Doc 05-7232).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eloise Powell, Team Leader for
Planning, Environment, and Research, FHWA Connecticut Division, 628-2
Hebron Avenue, Suite 303, Glastonbury, CT 06033, Telephone: (860) 494-
7566, Email: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the
Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), issued a NOI on April
11, 2005, to prepare an EIS for proposed transportation improvements
[[Page 24060]]
along the I-84 Corridor in Fairfield County and New Haven County, CT,
for a distance of approximately 32 miles. The purposes of the proposed
improvements were to improve safety and provide increased capacity to
meet future traffic demands. Due to the re-prioritization of major
transportation projects in Connecticut and funding constraints, the
CTDOT is no longer pursuing this project. Therefore, the NOI for this
project is rescinded. Studies are being done to determine specific
safety and capacity improvements along the I-84 corridor, and any
future transportation improvements will progress under a separate
environmental review process, in accordance with all applicable laws
and regulations.
Dated: April 23, 2014.
