in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If Congress authorizes a bridge over navigable United States waters but sets no construction deadlines, the authorization expires unless construction starts within one year and finishes within three years after the authorizing law is enacted.

If, after March 23, 1906, Congress authorizes by law the construction of a bridge over or across navigable United States waters but sets no time to begin or finish it, the authorization becomes void unless actual construction begins within one year and is completed within three years after the law is enacted.
