The SDEIS describes the Project by the NDOT; a road rehabilitation of N-12 which incorporates an elevation increase to the 100-year flood elevation plus 3 feet. Alternatives to this proposal have also been reviewed, with all alternatives within the existing N-12 corridor, and are described in the SDEIS.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Omaha District, has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to analyze the direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of the proposed U.S. Highway 275 (US275) West Point to Scribner Expressway Project (Project) proposed by the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT). NDOT proposes to expand US-275 from a two-lane highway to a four-lane expressway along an approximately 20-mile segment from northwest of West Point to southeast of Scribner in Cuming and Dodge Counties, Nebraska. The proposed Project is the construction of a new, parallel two-lane roadway to the east and west of the existing US-275 roadway, and adds a bypass around Scribner partially on the Pebble Creek Left Bank Levee. NDOT’s need for the Project is to provide a more reliable transportation corridor on US-275 between West Point and Scribner, in accordance with legislative mandates, by maintaining and improving regional connectivity, safely accommodating current and projected traffic, and addressing flooding concerns in the Nebraska Expressway System. USACE is neither a proponent nor an opponent of the proposed project.
