Project in California

SUMMARY: This notice announces a final approval action taken by the

proposed project, First Street Viaduct and Street Widening Project on 
First Street between Hewitt Street and Clarence Street in Los Angeles 
County, California.

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA is advising the public of final agency

of the Federal agency actions on the highway project will be barred 
unless the claim is filed on or before August 30, 2006. If the Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the FHWA has 
signed a Record of Decision for the First Street Viaduct and Street 
Widening Project [BHLS-5006(636)] in Los Angeles, California. 
The project will widen the First Street Viaduct by approximately 
twenty-six feet, providing two eastbound and two westbound traffic 
lanes on the viaduct between Vignes Street and Mission Road separated 
by dual light rail tracks within a raised median. The project would 
also widen First Street east of the viaduct between Mission Road and 
Clarence Street to align the street with the widened viaduct. Further 
improvements to the viaduct will replace the north railing, provide 
roadway shoulders and reconstruct the Santa Fe Avenue and Myers Street 
undercrossings to meet current design standards. Total length of the 
project is approximately 0.7 miles. The actions by the Federal 
agencies, and the laws under which such actions were taken, are 
described in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the 
project, approved on November 30, 2005, in the FHWA Record of Decision 
(ROD) issued on February 22, 2006, and in other documents in the FHWA 
administrative record. The FEIS, ROD, and other documents in the FHWA 
administrative record file are available by contacting the FHWA or the 
California Department of Transportation at the addresses provided
