The Interstate Bridge Replacement program hosts a press conference to present high-level findings of the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement.
The Draft SEIS studies the program’s potential benefits and impacts on transportation, the environment and the local community. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the program to complete this process to evaluate how proposed transportation infrastructure investments might impact areas like air and water quality, parks, historic sites, ecosystems, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, travel times, congestion, economics, land use, property acquisitions and neighborhoods within the study area. It also analyzes the program’s impact on social issues, such as environmental justice, equity and climate change.
