DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Transportation Project 
in Washington State

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

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

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA that are 
final. The action relates to the SR 3 Freight Corridor--New Alignment 
project, located in western Washington within the City of Bremerton, 
Kitsap County, and Mason County. The Project will construct the SR 3 
Freight Corridor--New Alignment to the east of the existing SR3 with a 
design and posted speed of 50 miles per hour. The proposed alignment 
will begin at MP 22.81 on existing SR 3 and connect back to the 
existing SR 3 alignment at MP 29.49. The project includes stormwater 
treatment facilities, 12-foot lanes with 8-foot shoulders, and 
roundabouts at the north and south connections to existing SR 3. The 
FHWA's Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) provides details on the 
Selected Alternative for the proposed improvements.

DATES: 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 May 1, 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.

Highway Administration, 711 S Capitol Way, Suite 501, Olympia, WA,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA has taken 
final agency actions within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by 
issuing a NEPA Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the SR 3 
Freight Corridor-New Alignment Project in Mason and Kitsap Counties, 
Washington. The action(s) by FHWA and the laws under which such actions 
were taken, are described in the FONSI and the associated agency 
records. That information is available by contacting FHWA at the 
addresses provided above.
    The project proposed to provide a reliable, high-speed, regional 
route between Kitsap and Mason Counties. This new route will move 
freight and regional traffic between Shelton and Bremerton, thus 
bypassing the urban center of Belfair. This project will reduce 
congestion and improve safety through Belfair and provide an alternate 
route during highway closures resulting from vehicular crashes and 
other incidents. Construction of this project will provide safe and 
reliable regional access to jobs, goods, and services, and improve 
efficiencies for all public service providers, on SR 3 through Belfair. 
A FONSI for the project was signed on November 15, 2024.
    Information about the NEPA FONSI and associated records are 
available from FHWA at the addresses provided above and can be found
