Supplemental EIS anticipated for Blue Route renewal
Environmental study due soon may clear the way for renewed construction of the Midcounty Expressway also called the Blue Route I 476 in Ridley Township. The supplemental EIS follows a court order binding federal funding until completion and approval and stems from a lawsuit by Radnor and Marple Townships and Swarthmore College alleging inadequate consideration of alternate corridors. It will discuss environmental effects of four alternate routes linking to the Pennsylvania Turnpike with toll road funding details and note that the proposed program could create about 4000 construction jobs in four years.
