Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in 
Utah

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of limitation of claims for Judicial Review of actions 
by FHWA.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by FWHA that are final 
within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to the 
proposed Porter Rockwell Boulevard Project in Salt Lake County in the 
State of Utah. These actions grant approvals for the project.

DATES: By this notice, FHWA is advising the public of final agency 
actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim seeking judicial review 
of FHWA actions on the highway project will be barred unless the claim 
is filed on or before March 7, 2016. If the Federal law that authorizes 
judicial review of a claim provides a time period of less than 150 days 
for filing such claim, then that shorter time period still applies.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bryan Dillon, Urban Area Engineer, 
FHWA Utah Division, 2520 West 4700 South, Suite 9A, Salt Lake City, 
Utah 84129; telephone: 801-955-3517; email: bryan.dillon@dot.gov. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA has taken 
final agency action subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing licenses, 
permits, and approvals for the Porter Rockwell Boulevard Project in the 
State of Utah. The Porter Rockwell Boulevard Project proposes to 
provide transportation improvements along Porter Rockwell Boulevard, 
between Mountain View Corridor, Redwood Road, and the 14600 South 
interchange at I-15, in Salt Lake County, Utah.
    The project consists of the following improvements: Widening Porter 
Rockwell Boulevard from four travel lanes to six travel lanes between 
Mountain View Corridor and Redwood Road; Widening Porter Rockwell 
Boulevard from two travel lanes to six travel lanes between Freedom 
Point Way and 14600 South; Constructing a new six-lane roadway on new 
alignment between Redwood Road and Freedom Point Way to connect 
existing sections of Porter Rockwell Boulevard at Redwood Road on the 
west and at Freedom Point Way on the east; Constructing a bridge over 
the Jordan River, the UPRR/UTA Frontrunner rail line, and several 
canals, which would be designed for a 50 year lifespan and would be of 
sufficient width to carry six travel lanes, plus pedestrian/bicycle 
facilities; Improving the Porter Rockwell Boulevard/Redwood Road 
intersection to accommodate the 2040 travel demand; Constructing an 
intersection at 14600 South that would curve Porter Rockwell Boulevard 
to the east to connect directly to the 1-15 interchange; and 
Incorporating a new bicycle route and multi-use trail facility as part 
of the roadway and providing a connection between the new trail and the 
Jordan River Parkway Trail.
    The actions by FHWA and the laws under which such actions were 
taken are described in the Porter Rockwell Boulevard Environmental 
Assessment (EA) and in the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) 
issued on August 26, 2015, and in other documents in the project
