This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA, USACE, and NPS that are final. The action relates to the proposed construction of a new highway between Huntley Road and Illinois Route 62 and a new bridge crossing over the Fox River in Kane County. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the project.

Dates

By this notice, the FHWA is advising the public of the final agency action subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1).
