Description:
Project will complete future I-57 from Walnut Ridge, AR into southeast Missouri. The project alternatives are roughly 42 miles in length. The EIS will evaluate the environmental effects of all reasonable project alternatives and determine the potential impacts to social, economic, natural, and physical environmental resources associated with these alternatives. The project is needed because there is a gap in the system linkage that diminishes connectivity and mobility of the National Highway System. Additionally, there is a lack of reliable transportation infrastructure to support economic development and a need to enhance resiliency to extreme weather events along the route. Furthermore, Federal legislation designated
this high priority corridor as future Interstate Route 57 (I-57). The project’s purpose is to develop an interstate highway system that addresses the above-described needs while minimizing the negative impacts to the natural and social environment.
