Notice of Final Federal Agency Action on the I-10 Mobile River
Bridge and Bayway Project in Alabama
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims for Judicial Review of Actions
by FHWA.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA that are
final. The action relates to the proposed project to increase the
capacity of Interstate Route 10 (I-10) by constructing a new six-lane
bridge across the Mobile River and replacing the existing four-lane I-
10 bridges across Mobile Bay with eight lanes above the 100-year storm
elevation. The proposed project is located in Mobile and Baldwin
Counties, Alabama. Those actions grant approvals for the project.
DATES: By this notice, the FHWA is advising the public of final agency
actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim seeking judicial review
of the Federal agency actions on the project will be barred unless the
claim is filed on or before January 27, 2020. 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.
