-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to
announce actions taken by Caltrans that are final within the meaning of
23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to a proposed local assistance
project, Bent Avenue Bridge [Federal Aid Number BRLS-NBIL(522)] and Via
Vera Cruz Bridge [Federal Aid Number BRLS-5381(033)] in the City of San
Marcos, in the County of San Diego, 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 June 22,
2015. 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.

new Bent Avenue Bridge, and the widening of Discovery Street, in the

in length and elevated higher above the current grade. The new Bent
Avenue Bridge would be constructed between San Marcos Boulevard and
Discovery Street, spanning San Marcos Creek where a low-water crossing
