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, State Route-47 on the Vincent Thomas 
Bridge 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 May 5, 
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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For Caltrans: Jason Roach, Senior 
Environmental Scientist, Caltrans, 100 South Main Street, Los Angeles, 
California, Hours: 8:00-4:30, Phone: (213) 310-2653, Email: 
[email protected].

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 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: The Vincent Thomas Bridge (VTB) 
Deck Replacement Project on State Route 47 in Los Angeles County 
proposes to replace the entire bridge deck, guardrail barriers, and 
seismic sensors on the bridge to preserve the structural integrity of 
the VTB deck and to enhance the bridge's overall safety. The 
transportation project's construction is anticipated to last 
approximately 16 months. The VTB has been in service for 60 years. 
Although the bridge is structurally sound, the bridge deck is rapidly 
deteriorating due to concrete fatigue caused by heavy truck traffic and 
environmental deterioration due to age and the marine environment. The 
actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such actions 
were taken, are described in the Environmental Assessment/Finding of No 
Significant Impact (EA/FONSI) for the project, approved on September 
27, 2024 and in other documents in the project records. The EA/FONSI 
and other project records are available by contacting Caltrans at the 
address provided above. The Caltrans EA/FONSI can be viewed and 
downloaded from the project website at https://www.virtualeventroom.com/caltrans/vtb/.
    This notice applies to all Federal agency decisions as of the 
issuance date of this notice and all laws under which such actions were 
taken, including but not limited to:

1. National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
2. Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671
3. Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), 16 U.S.C. 1531-1544
4. National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA)
