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

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA that are

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 September 17, 2018. If the

final agency action(s) subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing 
licenses, permits, and approvals for the subject highway project in the
