SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Notice is hereby given that FHWA has taken final agency actions within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing a NEPA FONSI for the SR 510 Yelm Loop—New Alignment Phase 2 Project in Thurston County, Washington. The action(s) by FHWA and the laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the FONSI and the associated agency records. That information is available by contacting FHWA at the addresses provided above.
The project will complete construction of a two-phased limited access highway located in the City of Yelm. The project will provide a new east-west roadway to reduce congestion in Yelm's downtown core. The new road would minimize intersections and prohibit driveway access in order to increase capacity, shorten travel times, and reduce the potential for collisions. A FONSI for the project was signed on March 12, 2025.
Information about the FONSI and associated records are available from FHWA at the addresses provided above and can be found at:
