SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by FHWA and other Federal
agencies that are final. The actions relate to the I-495 and I-270
Managed Lanes Study, in Montgomery and Prince George's Counties,
Maryland and Fairfax County, Virginia.
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 the Federal agency actions on the highway project will be barred

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA and other
Federal agencies have taken final agency actions by issuing approvals
for the I-495 and I-270 Managed Lanes Study in Montgomery County and
Prince George's County in the State of Maryland and Fairfax County in
the State of Virginia. The project will replace the 60-year-old
American Legion Bridge and deliver two high occupancy toll managed
lanes on an approximately 14-mile stretch of I-495 and I-270. The
purpose of this project is to develop a travel demand management
solution(s) that addresses congestion, improves trip reliability on I-
495 and I-270 within the study limits and enhances existing and planned
multimodal mobility and connectivity. The needs that are addressed by
this project include accommodating existing traffic and long-term
traffic growth, enhancing trip reliability, providing additional
roadway travel choices, accommodating homeland security, and

improving the movement of goods and services.
