Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in 
California

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT)

ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions 
by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by Caltrans that are final. The actions relate 
to a proposed highway project, Interstate 10/Jackson Street Interchange 
between Monroe Street and 0.4 miles west of Golf Center Parkway at PM 
R54.9/R56.5 in the City of Indio, in Riverside County, State of 
California. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for 
the project.

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, 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 highway 
project will be barred unless the claim is filed on or before March 4, 
2022. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, FHWA assigned, and 
Caltrans assumed, environmental responsibilities for this project 
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Notice is hereby given that the Caltrans has 
taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing 
licenses, permits, and approvals for the following highway project in 
the State of California: Caltrans proposes to reconstruct and widen 
Jackson Street at Interstate 10 (I-10) to improve the operational 
performance of the existing I-10/Jackson Street Interchange within the 
city limits. The I-10/Jackson Street interchange is located on I-10 
between Monroe Street and Gold Center Parkway. The project limits 
extend from approximately Post Mile (PM) R54.9 to PM R56.6 along I-10 
and from Kenner Avenue (south of I-10) to Atlantic Avenue (north of I-
10) along Jackson Street. The project site is centrally located within 
the City of Indio at the crossroads of I-10 and Jackson Street in 
Riverside County, California. The current I-10/Jackson interchange 
configuration is a diamond interchange, with signal control at the ramp 
termini. The interchange is a major access point for existing 
residential and retail sites. The project proposes to reconstruct and 
widen Jackson Street at I-10 from one to two lanes in the southbound 
direction, to construct two new access ramps to the CV Link 
recreational facility, and to realign and widen the existing I-10 
eastbound (EB) and I-10 westbound (WB) on- and off-ramps. The project 
would also include the construction of a WB auxiliary lane preceding 
the Jackson Street WB off-ramp, the installation of planned ramp meters 
on the I-10 EB and WB on-ramps, and construction of the Whitewater 
River Bridge Structure to accommodate two through lanes, a shoulder, 
and a sidewalk in each direction.
    The actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such 
actions were taken, are described in the Final Environmental Assessment 
(EA)/Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the project, approved 
on August 27, 2021, and in other documents in the FHWA project records. 
The EA/FONSI, and other project records are available by contacting 
Caltrans at the address provided above.
