Notice of Final Federal Agency Action on the I-10 Mobile River 
Bridge and Bayway Project in Alabama

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 action relates to the proposed project to increase the 
capacity of Interstate Route 10 (I-10) by constructing a new six-lane 
bridge across the Mobile River and replacing the existing four-lane I-
10 bridges across Mobile Bay with eight lanes above the 100-year storm 
elevation. The proposed project is located in Mobile and Baldwin 
Counties, Alabama. Those actions grant 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 January 27, 2020. 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.
