Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in 
Washington

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 approval of the Re-Evaluation for the 
State Route (SR) 509 Completion Project in King County, State of 
Washington.

DATES: 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 January 22, 2019. 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 FHWA, Lindsey Handel, Area 
Engineer, Federal Highway Administration, 711 S. Capitol Way, Suite 
501, Olympia, WA 98501-1284, 360-753-9550, or Megan White, Director, 
Environmental Services Office, Washington State Department of 
Transportation, 310 Maple Park Avenue SE, Olympia, WA 98504, 360-705-
7480, or Megan.White@wsdot.wa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA has taken 
final agency action(s) subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing 
licenses, permits, and approvals for the following highway project in 
the State of Washington: The SR 509 Completion Project will extend the 
existing SR 509 freeway southeasterly from its current South 188th 
Street terminus to a new interchange on Interstate 5 (I-5) and will 
construct additional improvements on I-5 south of the new I-5/SR 509 
interchange. The extension of SR 509 will be a new four-lane (two lanes 
in each direction) fully tolled highway segment from South 188th Street 
to I-5. The SR 509 Completion Project is a critical missing link in the 
state's highway network. The purpose of the proposed action is to 
improve regional highway connections with an extension of SR 509 to 
serve current and future transportation needs in southwest King County 
and to enhance southern access to Sea-Tac Airport. The SR 509 
Completion Project improves transportation connections between urban 
and manufacturing centers in south King County for people and goods. 
Extending SR 509 will ease congestion on I-5, create another access 
point to Sea-Tac International Airport, and improve service between 
industrial districts by allowing freight and traffic to bypass I-5, SR 
99 and local streets. The actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws 
under which such actions were taken, are described in the Re-Evaluation 
for the project approved on January 16, 2018, and in other documents in 
the project records. The Re-Evaluation, and other project records are 
available from FHWA and WSDOT at the addresses provided above and can 
be found at: https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/SR509/completion/Library.htm.
