roadway median crossings, constructing a roadway grade separation at 
Indianola Cutoff, replacing the southbound Jacoby Creek Bridge, and 
partially or fully signalizing the Route 101/Airport Road intersection.

conflicts and delay; and rehabilitate roadway to meet current traffic 
engineering design standards as feasible. The actions by the Federal 
agencies, and the laws under which such actions were taken, are 
described in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the 
project, approved on December 20, 2016, in the FHWA Record of Decision

and ROD can be viewed and downloaded from the project Web site at
