SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA has taken
final agency action subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing approvals
for the following bridge project in the State of Oregon. The OR34: Van
Buren Bridge Project proposes to construct a new bridge crossing of the
Willamette River in Corvallis, Oregon, along with associated surface
street improvements. The purpose of the proposed project is to provide
a seismically resilient Van Buren Avenue bridge across the Willamette
River that meets modern design standards, safety requirements, and ADA
standards, while providing access for emergency, commercial, freight,
and river traffic, and multi-modal transportation, but not limiting
future options associated with the North Bypass concept developed in
the 1980's to improve capacity and congestion in downtown Corvallis.
