The Secretary of the Army is authorized and empowered, under such
terms and conditions as are deemed advisable by him, to grant
easements for rights-of-way for public roads and streets on and
across lands acquired by the United States for river and harbor and
flood control improvements including, whenever necessary, the
privilege of occupying so much of said lands as may be necessary
for the piers, abutments, and other portions of a bridge structure:
Provided, That such rights-of-way shall be granted only upon a
finding by the Secretary of the Army that the same will be in the
public interest and will not substantially injure the interest of
the United States in the property affected thereby: Provided
further, That all or any part of such rights-of-way may be annulled
and forfeited by the Secretary of the Army for failure to comply
with the terms or conditions of any grant hereunder or for nonuse
or for abandonment of rights granted under the authority hereof:
Provided further, That the authority granted to the Secretary of
the Army shall not extend to or include lands held or acquired by
the Tennessee Valley Authority pursuant to the terms of the
Tennessee Valley Authority Act [16 U.S.C. 831 et seq.].
