Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on the Hampton Roads 
Crossing Study in the Cities of Hampton and Norfolk, Virginia

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of 
Transportation (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 proposed widening of Interstate 64 to 
a consistent six-lane facility between Interstates 664 and 564 and the 
addition of a new bridge-tunnel parallel to the existing Interstate 64 
Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and 
approvals for the project.

DATES: By this notice, 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 April 1, 2019. 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.
