The Somerset-London segment of I-66 will receive an accelerated environment review from the United States Department of Transportation. This step moves the project years closer to construction.

The London Sentinel-Echo reported that this move angered I-66 protest groups.

"The planned stretch of Interstate 66 to be built between I-75 and I-80 in Southeast Kentucky will receive an accelerated environmental review by the U.S." I-80 goes through Kentucky!? ;)
