-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA and other

Route 28 (Sunset Highway) Eastside Corridor Project in Douglas County, 
Washington. These actions grant approvals for the project.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the FHWA and 
other Federal agencies have taken final agency actions by issuing 
approvals for the following highway project in the State of Washington. 
This project would improve safety and provide congestion relief on

provides four lanes and a median divider on SR 28 (Sunset Highway) from 
the intersection of SR 2/97 to 9th Street, NE., in the City of East 
Wenatchee. The project also extends Eastmont Avenue from Badger 
Mountain Road to the intersection of SR 2/97. The SR 2/97 intersection 
with Sunset Highway is expanded to accommodate additional lanes and 
tie-in with Eastmont Avenue. The project includes a new interchange on 
SR 2/97 at Empire Avenue to connect 38th Street, NW., and Cascade 
Avenue. Other improvements to Sunset Highway include u-turns at two 
intersections and six new signals. Stormwater facilities are upgraded 
along the corridor and minor improvements to side streets are included.
