In January, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published a Notice of Final Agency Action in the federal register for the environmental study of the I-285 Top End Project. The notice marks the end of environmental permitting for the project under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) published a Record of Decision (ROD) for the project’s environmental study back in October. The action ends more than five years of NEPA study for the project, which is a remarkably fast end-to-end timeline for a highway project Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in the United States.
