• Abstract:
  This report examines current legal right of ownership issues arising in right-of-way land acquisition for highway projects crossing navigable waterways. The objective of this report is to help the state and GDOT be better positioned to deliver its program in a timely manner, simplify administrative understandings and efforts between agencies, reduce unnecessary proceedings, and address property ownership with broad judicious consideration for the private and public rights, therefore resulting in significant cost savings and time for delivery. Additionally, this report includes limited legal research of the state’s rights in navigable waters based on expiring 50-year permits received from the federal government.
