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 
by Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and other Federal 
agencies.

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

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 State Road 
(S.R.) 85 Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study (Financial 
Management Number 220171-2-22-01). The proposed S.R. 85 project will 
add capacity to S.R. 85 from S.R. 123 (Roger J. Clary Highway) to 
Mirage Avenue, a distance of approximately 12.2 miles. Improvements 
consist of roadway widening from four to six lanes, bridge 
replacements, improvements at signalized intersections, reconstruction 
of the interchange at I-10 as a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI), 
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 
April 6, 2023. 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.
