SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by FHWA and other Federal

along I-20 at Old Mill Road beginning approximately 0.38 mile south of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA has taken a
final agency action on GDOT Project PI 0018361 by issuing a FONSI for
the following new interchange project in the State of Georgia: The I-20
at Old Mill Road Interchange Construction Project located in Morgan and
Walton Counties, Georgia. The Selected Alternative will construct a new
interchange along I-20 at Old Mill Road. Old Mill Road in the vicinity
of the new interchange will be widened from a two-lane section to a
four-lane section with a 20-foot grassed median with bike lanes (north
of I-20) and sidewalks and realigned to the west of its current
location. The project will begin approximately 0.38 mile south of I-20
on Old Mill Road, construct a new bridge over I-20 to the west of the
existing bridge, and terminate approximately 0.27 mile north of I-20 at
a signalized intersection with a newly constructed frontage road. The
length of the proposed construction is approximately 0.73 mile. The
purpose of the project is listed below:
<bullet> Provide new, direct vehicular access to I-20, which will
serve current and projected future vehicular and truck traffic;
<bullet> Provide congestion relief for the existing I-20/US 278
interchange to the west, which is not anticipated to have sufficient
capacity to accommodate projected traffic volumes by 2045;
<bullet> Accelerate project delivery.
The FHWA's action, related actions by other Federal Agencies, and
the laws under which such actions were taken are described in the
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project, approved on March 8,
2023, the FONSI issued on October 3, 2023, and other documents in the
project file. The EA, FONSI and other project records are available by
