The cost of such grade separation and any damage incurred in changing and adjusting the lines and grades of such roads, highways, railroads, and public utility facilities, shall be ascertained and paid by the authority as a part of the cost of such toll road project.

(b) If the authority shall find it necessary to change the location of any portion of any public road, state highway, railroad, or public utility facility, it shall cause the same to be reconstructed at such location as the division of government having jurisdiction over such road, highway, railroad, or public utility facility shall deem most favorable and of substantially the same type and in as good condition as the original road, highway or railroad, or public utility facility.

However, before entering upon the premises of any railroad, notice shall be given to the superintendent of such railroad involved, at least five (5) days in advance of such entry, that survey, sounding, drilling, and examination shall be made between the rails, or so close to a railroad track as would render said track unusable. The authority shall make reimbursement for any actual damage resulting to such lands, waters, and premises and to private property located in, on, along, over, or under such lands, waters, and premises as a result of such activities. The state of Indiana, subject to the approval of the governor, consents to the use of all lands owned by it, including lands lying under water, which are necessary or proper for the construction or operation of any toll road project, provided adequate compensation is made for such use.

(e) The authority shall also have power to make reasonable regulations for the installation, construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, relocation, and removal of tracks, pipes, mains, conduits, cables, wires, towers, poles, and other equipment and appliances (referred to in this subsection as "public utility facilities") of any public utility in, on, along, over, or under any toll road project. Whenever the authority shall determine that it is necessary that any such public utility facilities which are located in, on, along, over, or under any such project should be relocated in such project, or should be removed from such project, the public utility owning or operating such facilities shall relocate or remove the same in accordance with the order of the authority; however, the cost and expenses of such relocation or removal, including the cost of installing such facilities in a new location or new locations, and the cost of any lands, or any rights or interests in lands, and any other rights, acquired to accomplish such relocation or removal, shall be ascertained and paid by the authority as a part of the cost of such project excepting cases in which such equipment or facilities are located within the limits of existing highways or public thoroughfares being constructed, reconstructed, or improved under the provisions of this chapter. In case of any such relocation or removal of facilities, the public utility owning or operating the same, its successors or assigns, may maintain and operate such facilities, with the necessary appurtenances, in the new location or new locations for as long a period, and upon the same terms and conditions, as it had the right to maintain and operate such facilities in their former location or locations subject, however, to the state's right of regulation under its police powers.

Toll bridge becoming state highway or tollway; reimbursement of funds; conveyances
Status: in_force

Sec. 17.1. (a) The authority may, after adopting a resolution and after receiving the governor's approval, determine under IC 8-23-7 that any toll bridge constructed or operated by the authority should become a part of the system of state highways free of tolls or become a tollway under IC 8-15-3.

(b) A resolution adopted under subsection (a) becomes effective when:

(1) all bonds to which the revenues of the toll bridge were pledged for payment, together with all interest, is paid, or a sufficient amount for the payment of all those bonds and the interest to maturity is set aside in trust for the benefit of bondholders; and

(2) to the extent authorized by the authority as provided in subsection (d), the Indiana interstate bridge fund or any other fund of the state is reimbursed for amounts expended from the fund for the purposes of this chapter, even if those expenditures were not made in connection with the bridge.

(c) Until a resolution is adopted by the authority under subsection (a) and becomes effective under subsection (b), any toll bridge constructed by the authority or its predecessors remains under the jurisdiction of the authority and the authority shall continue to maintain and operate the toll bridge and levy and collect tolls as provided in this chapter. Subject to any agreement entered into by the Secretary of Transportation of the United States, acting by and through the federal highway administrator, and the state, acting by and through the department, tolls on any project may be continued from the date of the payment of the principal of and interest on bonds issued for the construction of the toll bridge.

(d) The authority may use revenue received from tolls under subsection (c) to reimburse the Indiana interstate bridge fund or any other state fund for an expenditure made for the purposes of this chapter, whether or not the expenditure was made in connection with the bridge from which the tolls were received. Before reimbursing any fund under this subsection, the authority shall provide for the cost of maintaining, repairing, or operating the toll bridge. If the authority decides to make a reimbursement under this subsection, it shall first fully reimburse all other eligible funds before it may reimburse the interstate bridge fund. After the interstate bridge fund is reimbursed, the authority may transfer revenue received from tolls under subsection (c) to the state for deposit in the state highway fund for use as provided by law.

(e) If the authority adopts a resolution under subsection (a) that becomes effective under subsection (b), the toll bridge becomes the property of the state without a deed of conveyance, and the bridge comes under the jurisdiction and control of the department as part of the Indiana state highway system or as a tollway, as designated in the resolution.
