The Florida Department of Transportation, District 2 announces a public hearing to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME:  July 18, 2006, 6:30 p.m.

PLACE:  Baker County Commission Chambers, 55 N. Third Street, Macclenny, Florida.

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE DISCUSSED:  This hearing is being held to afford interested persons the opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, social, economic and environmental effects of Financial Project ID Number 213001-2, 213471-2, 213272-5, and 213272-3, otherwise known as the Interstate 10 Widening from CR 125 east to the proposed Branan Field Chaffee Road Interchange PD & E Study in Baker, Nassau and Duval Counties, Florida.  The Florida Department of Transportation has been conducting a Project Development and Environmental Study evaluating the need to add capacity to the existing Interstate 10 roadway.  The objective of the proposed improvements is to reduce congestion and improve safety by widening Interstate 10 from a four-lane facility to a six-lane facility by adding additional lanes in the median and to extend the interchange merge and diverge ramps to meet current standards.  Although the proposed improvements do not require additional right-of-way for the road widening, right-of-way will be needed for stormwater treatment ponds along the corridor.  This project is being developed in compliance with Titles VI and Related Statutes of the Civil Rights Act.
