The proposed project involves the location of a major highway improvement known as the National Freeway within the Appalachian region between Hancock and Cumberland, Maryland approximately 30 miles in length. The study has been jointly supported by the Appalachian Development Highway Program and the Appalachian-Economic Development portion in an effort to maximize the benefits to Maryland from the opportunities created by the National Freeway. The proposal is to construct a four-lane divided highway featuring full control of access. The major environmental impact occurs to the natural resources of the corridor through the taking of forest, park, or wildlife management lands, the introduction of air pollution, and the noise disruption of predominately tranquil surroundings. Noise impacts will be most significant in residential areas directly adjacent to highway alignments--the most severe occurring along U.S. Highway 40 as measured in terms of number of residences affected.
