The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) have concluded an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the construction of a new interchange along Interstate 70 (I-70) between Eagle and Gypsum to accommodate the recent expansion of the airport and anticipated growth among surrounding communities. 

The EA investigated solutions to provide a more direct connection between I-70 and the Eagle County Regional Airport. A finding of No Significant Impacts (FONSI) was issued in June 2005. The EA was finalized in August, 2004 and a public hearing was held on September 23, 2004 to obtain comments from the public on this document.
