February 2005 Update

Since the December 2004 update, we have been working on the tasks described below: 

Concept Plan & Proposed Access

Concept plans showing proposed access control along the corridor was presented at the Task Force Meeting.  The following segments were presented:

·                    Jones Loop Road

·                    Burnt Store Road – Charlotte County

·                    Tuckers Grade Extension

·                    Burnt Store Road – Lee County

Further information regarding the concept plan and proposed access can be found under Task Force Meeting.

Environmental Screening

An environmental screening of the corridor segments above was performed.  The screening identified any potential impacts along the corridor.  Further investigation will be needed prior to design and construction.  The features evaluated were as follows:

·                    Cultural

·                    Archeological & Historical

·                    Wetland

·                 Wildlife & Habitat

·          Potential Contamination

Further information regarding the environmental screening can be found under Task Force Meeting.

Task Force Meeting was held with elected officials from each jurisdiction.
