Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in 
Wisconsin

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

ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions 
by FHWA and other Federal agencies.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by FHWA and other Federal 
agencies, on behalf of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation 
(WisDOT), that are final. The actions relate to a proposed highway 
project, Interstate 94 (I-94) East-West Corridor, 70th Street to 16th 
Street, in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. 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 listed highway project will be 
barred unless the claim is filed on or before August 19, 2024. 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.

Environmental Manager, FHWA Wisconsin Division, 525 Junction Road, 
Suite 8000, Madison, Wisconsin 53717; telephone: (608) 662-2119; email:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA has taken 
final agency actions related to the I-94 East-West Corridor Project in 
Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. FHWA, in cooperation with WisDOT, prepared 
a Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and combined 
Supplemental Final EIS/Record of Decision (ROD) to reconstruct 
approximately 3.5 miles of I-94 from 70th Street to 16th Street in 
Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. The purpose of the I-94 East-West Corridor 
project is to address the deteriorated condition of I-94, obsolete 
roadway and bridge design, existing and future traffic demand, and high 
crash rates.
    The project includes reconstructing and adding a through lane along 
I-94 in each direction along its existing alignment; reconstructing the 
68th/70th Street interchange; reconstructing the Hawley Road 
interchange as a partial interchange; reconstruction of the Mitchell 
Boulevard interchange; reconstructing the existing system interchange 
at I-94/WIS 175/Brewers Boulevard (Stadium Interchange) as a diverging 
diamond service interchange; reconstructing the 35th Street and 27th 
Street interchanges; and local roadway improvements to offset impacts 
to local traffic from interchange modifications.
    The actions taken by the Federal agencies on this project, and laws 
under which such actions were taken, are described in the combined 
Supplemental Final EIS/ROD, approved on March 8, 2024, and in other 
documents in the FHWA or WisDOT project records. The combined 
Supplemental Final EIS/ROD, and other project records are available by 
contacting FHWA or WisDOT at the addresses provided above. The combined 
Supplemental Final EIS/ROD can also be viewed on the project website 
at: https://wisconsindot.gov/
