California
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions
by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to
announce actions taken by Caltrans that are final. The actions relate
to a proposed highway project, State Route-47 on the Vincent Thomas
Bridge in the County of Los Angeles, State of California. Those actions
grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the project.
DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, 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 unless the claim is filed on or before May 5,
2025. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) assigned, and the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) assumed, environmental responsibilities for
this project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Notice is hereby given that the
Caltrans has taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1)
by issuing licenses, permits, and approvals for the following highway
project in the State of California: The Vincent Thomas Bridge (VTB)
Deck Replacement Project on State Route 47 in Los Angeles County
proposes to replace the entire bridge deck, guardrail barriers, and
seismic sensors on the bridge to preserve the structural integrity of
the VTB deck and to enhance the bridge's overall safety. The
transportation project's construction is anticipated to last
approximately 16 months. The VTB has been in service for 60 years.
Although the bridge is structurally sound, the bridge deck is rapidly
deteriorating due to concrete fatigue caused by heavy truck traffic and
environmental deterioration due to age and the marine environment. The
actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such actions
were taken, are described in the Environmental Assessment/Finding of No
Significant Impact (EA/FONSI) for the project, approved on September
27, 2024 and in other documents in the project records. The EA/FONSI
and other project records are available by contacting Caltrans at the
address provided above. The Caltrans EA/FONSI can be viewed and
downloaded from the project website at <a href="https://www.virtualeventroom.com/caltrans/vtb/">https://www.virtualeventroom.com/caltrans/vtb/</a>.

issuance date of this notice and all laws under which such actions were
taken, including but not limited to:

2. Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671
