The Secretary who runs the Coast Guard must approve international bridges, but only after the President already has. That approval becomes void unless construction starts within two years and finishes within five. The Secretary may extend either deadline for good cause.
The Secretary of the department running the Coast Guard must give the approval that section 491 of this title requires, but only after the President has already approved the bridge under section 535b of this title.
That approval becomes null and void unless the bridge's construction starts within two years and finishes within five years of the date the Secretary approved it. However, the Secretary may extend either time limit — or both — for a reasonable period, if there is good cause.
The approval of the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating, as required by section 491 of this title, shall be given only subsequent to the President’s approval, as provided for in section 535b of this title, and shall be null and void unless the construction of the bridge is commenced within two years and completed within five years from the date of the Secretary’s approval: Provided, however, That the Secretary, for good cause shown, may extend for a reasonable time either or both of the time limits herein provided.
