Environmental Document
Requirement of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Requires INDOT to analyze and evaluate the
impacts of a proposed project to the natural and socio-economic environments
Impacts associated with a project are described in the environmental document
![Page 9: S.R. 49 Bridge Rehabilitation over Kankakee River Thursday, September 12, 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812e3a550346895d93ac76/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Environmental Document Development of document begins once purpose and
need for the project has been clearly identified
Develop a number of possible alternatives including a “Do Nothing” alternative as a baseline for comparison
Screen alternatives to identify a preferred alternative
Solicit public comment on environmental document and preliminary design plan
Solicit, address, and fully consider public comments as part of decision making process

SR 49 Kankakee Bridge
200-foot steel through Parker truss, constructed about 1941 by the Indiana State Highway Commission
Individually eligible for NR-listing under Criterion C: Engineering
![Page 13: S.R. 49 Bridge Rehabilitation over Kankakee River Thursday, September 12, 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812e3a550346895d93ac76/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Results Historic Bridge Inventory
The SR 49 Bridge over the Kankakee River is a “Select” bridge
“Select” bridges are:Excellent examples
of a given type
of historic bridgeMost-suitable
for preservation
![Page 14: S.R. 49 Bridge Rehabilitation over Kankakee River Thursday, September 12, 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812e3a550346895d93ac76/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
FHWA will not consider demolition to be a “prudent” alternative
FHWA will not participate in a project that
results in the demolition of a

Maintenance of Traffic
Alternatives Temporary Runaround
Temporary bridge would be approximately 360’ long
Impacts to wetland areas southeast of bridge Wetland mitigation requirements Increased construction cost and time
![Page 27: S.R. 49 Bridge Rehabilitation over Kankakee River Thursday, September 12, 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812e3a550346895d93ac76/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Maintenance of Traffic
Alternatives Phased Partial Width Construction with Temporary
Traffic Signals Existing driveway locations would impede the proper
function and operation of a temporary signal Increased construction cost and time Reduced Construction Zone Safety Reduced Traveling Public Safety
