Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
At the time the Secretary shall authorize the bridge owner to proceed with the project, as provided in [section 515 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title33-section515&num=0&edition=prelim), and after an opportunity to the bridge owner to be heard thereon, the Secretary shall determine and issue an order specifying the proportionate shares of the total cost of the project to be borne by the United States and by the bridge owner. Such apportionment shall be made on the following basis: The bridge owner shall bear such part of the cost as is attributable to the direct and special benefits which will accrue to the bridge owner as a result of the alteration, including the expectable savings in repair or maintenance costs; and that part of the cost attributable to the requirements of traffic by railroad or highway, or both, including any expenditure for increased carrying capacity of the bridge, and including such proportion of the actual capital cost of the old bridge or of such part of the old bridge as may be altered or changed or rebuilt, as the used service life of the whole or a part, as the case may be, bears to the total estimated service life of the whole or such part: Provided, That in the event the alteration or relocation of any bridge may be desirable for the reason that the bridge unreasonably obstructs navigation, but also for some other reason, the Secretary may require equitable contribution from any interested person, firm, association, corporation, municipality, county, or State desiring such alteration or relocation for such other reason, as a condition precedent to the making of an order for such alteration or relocation. The United States shall bear the balance of the cost, including that part attributable to t

The United States shall bear the balance of the cost, including that part attributable to the necessities of navigation: And provided further, That where the bridge owner proceeds with the alteration on a successive partial bid basis the Secretary is authorized to issue an order of apportionment of cost for the entire alteration based on the accepted bid for the first part of the alteration and an estimate of cost for the remainder of the work. The Secretary is authorized to revise the order of apportionment of cost, to the extent he deems reasonable and proper, to meet any changed conditions.

After approval of such general plans and specifications by the Secretary, and after notification of such approval, the bridge owner shall, in such manner and within such times as the Secretary may prescribe, take bids for the alteration of such bridge in accordance with such general plans and specifications. All bids, including any bid for all or part of the project submitted by the bridge owner, shall be submitted to the Secretary, together with a recommendation by the bridge owner as to the most competent bid or bids, and at the same time the bridge owner shall submit to the Secretary a written guaranty that the total cost of the project, including the cost of such work as is to be performed by the bridge owner and not included in the work to be performed by contract, shall not exceed the sum stated in said guaranty. The Secretary may direct the bridge owner to reject all bids and to take new bids, or may authorize the bridge owner to proceed with the project, by contract, or partly by contract and partly by the bridge owner, or wholly by the bridge owner. Upon such authorization and fixing of the proportionate shares of the cost as provided in [section 516 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title33-section516&num=0&edition=prelim), the bridge owner shall, within a reasonable time to be prescribed by the Secretary, proceed with the work of alteration; and the cost thereof shall be borne by the United States and by the bridge owner, as provided in sections 516 and 517 of this title: Provided, That where funds have been appropriated for part only of a project, the bridge owner may take bids for part only of the work. In the event the bridge owner proceeds with the alteration through the taking of successive partial bids, the brid

Any order made or issued under [section 516 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title33-section516&num=0&edition=prelim) may be reviewed by the court of appeals for any judicial circuit in which the bridge in question is wholly or partly located, if a petition for such review is filed within three months after the date such order is issued. The judgment of any such court shall be final except that it shall be subject to review by the Supreme Court of the United States upon certification or certiorari, in the manner provided in [section 1254 of title 28](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title28-section1254&num=0&edition=prelim). The review by such Court shall be limited to questions of law, and the findings of fact by the Secretary, if supported by substantial evidence, shall be conclusive. Upon such review, such Court shall have power to affirm or, if the order is not in accordance with law, to modify or to reverse the order, with or without remanding the case for a rehearing as justice may require. Proceedings under this section shall not operate as a stay of any order of the Secretary issued under provisions of this subchapter other than [section 516 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title33-section516&num=0&edition=prelim), or relieve any bridge owner of any liability or penalty under such provisions.

If the owner of any bridge and the Secretary shall agree that in order to remove an obstruction to navigation, or for any other purpose, a relocation of such bridge or the construction of a new bridge upon a new location would be preferable to an alteration of the existing bridge, such relocation or new construction may be carried out at such new site and upon such terms as may be acceptable to the bridge owner and the Secretary, and the cost of such relocation or new construction, including also any expense of changes in and additions to rights-of-way, stations, tracks, spurs, sidings, switches, signals, and other railroad facilities and property, and relocation of shippers required for railroad connection with the bridge at the new site, shall be apportioned as between the bridge owner and the United States in the manner which is provided for in [section 516 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title33-section516&num=0&edition=prelim) in the case of an alteration and the share of the United States paid from the appropriation authorized in [section 518 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title33-section518&num=0&edition=prelim): Provided, That nothing in this section shall be construed as requiring the United States to pay any part of the expense of building any bridge across a navigable stream which the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating shall not find to be, in fact, a relocation of an existing bridge.

part of a project, and requiring the bridge owner, if re-
quested, to submit a revised guaranty of cost.
§ 516. Apportionment of cost
At the time the Secretary shall authorize the
bridge owner to proceed with the project, as pro-
vided in section 515 of this title, and after an op-
portunity to the bridge owner to be heard there-
on, the Secretary shall determine and issue an
order specifying the proportionate shares of the
total cost of the project to be borne by the
United States and by the bridge owner. Such ap-
portionment shall be made on the following
basis: The bridge owner shall bear such part of
the cost as is attributable to the direct and spe-
cial benefits which will accrue to the bridge
owner as a result of the alteration, including the
expectable savings in repair or maintenance
costs; and that part of the cost attributable to
the requirements of traffic by railroad or high-
way, or both, including any expenditure for in-
creased carrying capacity of the bridge, and in-
cluding such proportion of the actual capital
cost of the old bridge or of such part of the old
bridge as may be altered or changed or rebuilt,
as the used service life of the whole or a part, as
the case may be, bears to the total estimated
service life of the whole or such part: Provided,
That in the event the alteration or relocation of
any bridge may be desirable for the reason that
the bridge unreasonably obstructs navigation,
but also for some other reason, the Secretary
may require equitable contribution from any in-
terested person, firm, association, corporation,
municipality, county, or State desiring such al-
teration or relocation for such other reason, as
a condition precedent to the making of an or
