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

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by FHWA that are final 
within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(1)(1). The actions relate to a 
proposed highway project, the WIS 15 Corridor Expansion Project, in the

with a median and construct a northern bypass around the Village of 
Hortonville, in Outagamie County, Wisconsin. Specific actions include 
acquiring additional right-of-way, constructing a four-lane bypass, 
constructing grade separated crossings, constructing a multi-use path, 
installing new bridges and box culverts, removing and placing fill,

measures. The project also includes mitigation and restoration actions 
which are compatible with land use plans.

DATES: By this notice, FHWA is advising the public of final agency 
actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(1)(1). A claim seeking judicial review 
of the Federal agency actions on the highway project will be barred 
unless the claim is filed within 180 days of publication of this 
Federal Register notice. If the Federal law that authorizes judicial 
review of a claim provides a time period of less than 180 days for 
filing such claim, then that shorter time period still applies.
