SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to announce actions taken that

proposed highway project, along Interstate 41 (I-41) in Outagamie and

Connector).

I-41.

Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)
design standards where practicable.

(SWEF) and 2-story building for the State Patrol's Northeast District
Headquarters at the existing SWEF location.
