SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA has taken a
final agency action subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing a FONSI
for the following new highway project in the State of Georgia: The I-16
at Old Cuyler Road Interchange Project located in Bryan County,
Georgia. The Selected Alternative will construct a new interchange
along I-16 at Old Cuyler Road. Old Cuyler and Cuyler Roads will be
realigned and reconstructed over I-16, including the construction of a
new bridge over I-16. The new interchange project will also tie into a
new frontage road just east of Jernigan Road and will extend this road
along the south side of I-16 to a multi-lane roundabout with the
realigned Cuyler Road. Multi-lane roundabouts will also be located at
the eastbound and westbound I-16 ramp termini. The length of the
construction is approximately 1.2 miles.
The purpose of the project is listed below:
<bullet> Provide new, direct vehicular access to I-16, which will
serve current and projected future vehicular and truck traffic.
<bullet> Provide congestion relief for the existing I-16/US 280
interchange to the west, which is not anticipated to have sufficient
capacity to accommodate projected traffic volumes by 2047.
<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 January 9,
2024, the FONSI issued on July 24, 2024, and other documents in the
project file. The EA, FONSI and other project records are available by
