The Secretary of the Army may transfer the United States' rights in bridges constructed or acquired before or after this provision, along with needed land and rights-of-way, to states or their political subdivisions. The Chief of Engineers sets the terms, and transferred bridges must remain toll-free.
The Secretary of the Army can transfer or convey to a state, or to a political subdivision of a state, all of the United States' right, title, and interest in a bridge. This covers any bridge built or acquired — before or after this law — as part of improving canals, rivers, harbors, or flood-control works, along with the land, easements, or rights-of-way needed for it.
The Chief of Engineers decides the terms and conditions of the transfer, which can happen with or without payment, based on what best serves the United States' interests.
Any bridge transferred this way must stay free of tolls.
The Secretary of the Army is authorized to transfer or convey to State authorities or political subdivisions thereof all right, title, and interest of the United States, in and to any and all bridges heretofore or hereafter constructed or acquired in connection with the improvement of canals, rivers and harbors, or works of flood control, together with the necessary lands, easements, or rights-of-way, upon such terms and conditions and with or without consideration, as may be determined to be in the best interest of the United States by the Chief of Engineers: Provided, That such transferred bridges shall be toll-free.
