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, on State Route 260 (SR-260) between
postmiles R0.78 and R1.90 and Interstate 880 (I-880) between postmiles
30.47 and 31.61 in the cities of Oakland and Alameda in the County of
Alameda, 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 August

provides a time period of less than 150 days for filing such claim,
then that shorter time period still applies.
