SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA has taken a

Corridor Project located in Bartow County, Georgia. The proposed 
project will improve travel conditions for automobiles and trucks 
between US 411/US 41 and I-75 in Bartow County by constructing a new 
location four-lane highway between US 411/US 41 and I-75, constructing 
a new full-diamond interchange that will replace the existing overpass 
on Old Grassdale Road at I-75, constructing roundabout intersection
