PUBLIC MEETING NOTICE
Widening of LA 28 East from Libuse to Holloway
Stage 1 - Environmental Assessment
State Project No. H.004825.2
Rapides Parish
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are conducting a Stage 1 Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed widening of Louisiana Highway (LA) 28 from its western intersection with LA 3128 (Libuse) to its eastern intersection with LA 1207 (Holloway) in Rapides Parish. This Stage 1 project follows the Stage 0 Feasibility Study completed in April 2010. The construction limits are from LA 3128 to LA 1207. The eastern logical terminus extends from LA 1207 to United States Highway (US) 84, which will allow the EA to include an assessment of potential engineering and environmental issues along LA 28 from the end of construction at LA 1207 east to US 84 in Catahoula Parish.
The project team will conduct an open house public meeting to present alternatives and potential impacts, and to obtain comments on the proposed project from individuals, groups, officials, and local agencies. Representatives of the DOTD, the FHWA, and the consultant team will be present to receive comments and answer questions related to the proposed project.
Three design alternatives, as well as the No-Build alternative, are being considered. Alternative information and input opportunities will be provided at the meeting. All interested parties are invited and encouraged to attend the meeting. The public meeting is scheduled for the time, date, and location below.
