Express Lanes Northern Extension Study in the City of Alexandria, 
Arlington County, and Fairfax County, Virginia

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims for Judicial Review of Actions 
by FHWA.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA that are 
final. The actions relate to the conversion of two existing High 
Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes within the existing median of Interstate 
395 (I-395) to three High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes from the current 
I-395 HOT lanes terminus at Turkeycock Run to Eads Street near the 
Pentagon. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the 
project.

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA 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 project will be barred unless the 
claim is filed on or before November 17, 2017. 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.
