Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Transportation 
Project in Florida

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of the FDOT, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by FDOT and other Federal agencies that are 
final agency actions. These actions relate to the proposed Interstate 
75 (I-75) Improvements Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study 
(Financial Management Number 452074-2). The proposed I-75 Improvements 
project will reduce congestion and improve reliability on I-75 from 
south of State Road (S.R.) 44 to S.R. 200, a distance of approximately 
22.5 miles. Improvements consist of adding auxiliary lanes between 
interchanges, bridge overpass replacement and widening, and the 
construction of stormwater management facilities. These actions grant 
licenses, permits, or approvals for the project.

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of FDOT, 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 
February 13, 2025. 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.

documents can be viewed and downloaded from the project website at:
