SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA that are
final. The action relates to the SR 3 Freight Corridor--New Alignment
project, located in western Washington within the City of Bremerton,
Kitsap County, and Mason County. The Project will construct the SR 3
Freight Corridor--New Alignment to the east of the existing SR3 with a
design and posted speed of 50 miles per hour. The proposed alignment
will begin at MP 22.81 on existing SR 3 and connect back to the
existing SR 3 alignment at MP 29.49. The project includes stormwater
treatment facilities, 12-foot lanes with 8-foot shoulders, and

Selected Alternative for the proposed improvements.
DATES: A claim seeking judicial review of the Federal agency actions on
the listed highway project will be barred unless the claim is filed on

review of a claim provides a time period of less than 150 days for
filing such claim, then that shorter time period still applies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA has taken
final agency actions within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by
issuing a NEPA Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the SR 3
Freight Corridor-New Alignment Project in Mason and Kitsap Counties,
Washington. The action(s) by FHWA and the laws under which such actions
were taken, are described in the FONSI and the associated agency
records. That information is available by contacting FHWA at the
addresses provided above.
The project proposed to provide a reliable, high-speed, regional
route between Kitsap and Mason Counties. This new route will move
freight and regional traffic between Shelton and Bremerton, thus
bypassing the urban center of Belfair. This project will reduce
congestion and improve safety through Belfair and provide an alternate
route during highway closures resulting from vehicular crashes and
other incidents. Construction of this project will provide safe and
reliable regional access to jobs, goods, and services, and improve
efficiencies for all public service providers, on SR 3 through Belfair.
A FONSI for the project was signed on November 15, 2024.
Information about the NEPA FONSI and associated records are
available from FHWA at the addresses provided above and can be found
