DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Highway Administration
Notice of Statute of Limitations on

Actions on Proposed Highway in
California
erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY: Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims
for Judicial Review of Actions by the
California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans), pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327,
and Other Federal Agencies.
SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of
Caltrans, is issuing this notice to
announce actions taken by Caltrans, and
Other Federal Agencies that are final
within the meaning of 23 U.S.C.
139(l)(1). These actions relate to a
proposed highway project, the Schuyler
Heim Bridge Replacement and SR–47
Expressway in the Port of Los Angeles
and Port of Long Beach, in the County
of Los Angeles, 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 17, 2010. If the Federal
law that authorizes judicial review of a
claim provides a time period of less
than 180 days for filing such claim, then
that shorter time period still applies.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karl
Price, Senior Environmental Planner,
Caltrans District 7, division of
Environmental Planning, 100 S. Main
Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, during
normal business hours from 9 a.m. to 5

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective
July 1, 2007, the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) assigned, and
the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) assumed,
environmental responsibilities for this
project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327.
Notice is hereby given that the Caltrans,
and certain other Federal agencies have
taken final agency actions subject to 23
U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by approving the
following highway project in the State
of California: The Schuyler Heim Bridge
Replacement and SR–47 Expressway in
the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long
Beach, in the County of Los Angeles,
State of California. When completed, the
project will replace the seismically and
structurally deficient lift Schuyler Heim

Bridge with a new fixed-span bridge
over the Cerritos Channel, and construct
an elevated SR–47 Expressway that
would begin on Terminal Island, at the
intersection of SR–47 and Ocean
Boulevard, extending north and onto the
new fixed-span bridge, to Alameda
Street, south of the intersection with
Pacific Coast Highway. The project
length is 3.1 miles. The purpose of the
project is to provide a structurally and
seismically safe vehicular connection
along the critical north-south corridor
between Terminal Island and the
mainland that can remain in service
following a major earthquake to ensure
that ground and vessel transportation
are maintained. The purpose of the
proposed project also is to provide a
high-capacity alternative route for traffic
between Terminal Island and I–405 that
would reduce traffic congestion on local
surface streets (between Terminal Island
and Pacific Coast Highway), as well as
on I–110 and I–710; and improve safety
by providing a limited-access route
between Terminal Island and I–405 that
would bypass at-grade railroad crossings
and signalized intersections. The
actions by the Federal agencies, and the
laws under which such actions were
taken, are described in the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)
for the project, approved on May 12,
2009, in the Record of Decision (ROD)
issued on August 12, 2009, and in other
documents in the Caltrans project
records. The FEIS, ROD, and other
project records are available by
contacting Caltrans at the addresses
provided above. The Final EIS and ROD
can be viewed and downloaded from
the project Web site at https://
