VDOT AND FHWA EXTEND COMMENT PERIOD FOR I-81 TIER 1 DEIS
RICHMOND, April 26, 2006 The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration will extend the time frame for accepting public comments on the Interstate 81 Tier 1 Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). Input will be accepted through May 29, 2006.
