Notice of Final Agency Actions on Proposed I-20/26/126 Carolina
Crossroads Corridor Project in South Carolina
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions
by FHWA and other Federal agencies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by FHWA and other Federal
Agencies that are final. The actions relate to the I-20/26/126 Carolina
Crossroads Corridor Project, located in Lexington and Richland
Counties, South Carolina. This action grants FHWA approval of the
project.
DATES: By this notice, FHWA is advising the public of a final agency
action subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim seeking review of the
Federal agency action on the highway project will be barred unless the
claim is filed on or before October 28, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA and other
Federal agencies have taken final agency actions by issuing a Record of
Decision (ROD) for the I-20/26/126 Carolina Crossroads Corridor Project
in Richland and Lexington Counties, South Carolina. The Carolina
Crossroads project would reconstruct the I-20/26 interchange, the I-26/
126 interchange, and service interchanges in the project study area on
I-20, I-26, and I-126. In addition, an additional travel lane would be
added in each direction on I-26 from the Broad River Road interchange
to just past the I-126 interchange. The project would improve mobility
and enhance traffic operations by reducing existing traffic congestion
within the I-20/26/126 corridor while accommodating future traffic
needs. The actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which
such actions were taken, are described in the Combined Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)/Record of Decision (ROD) for the
project, approved on May 2, 2019, and in other documents in the project
