A. When the Department of Transportation and Development or its agent cannot amicably acquire property needed for the AGMAC Deepening Project as provided in this Chapter, it may acquire the same by expropriation and may acquire the property prior to judgment in the trial court on the amount of compensation due to the owner of the property.
B. Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter, such expropriation shall be conducted in the manner that the department is permitted to expropriate property for highway purposes, as set forth in R.S. 48:449 through 459.
C. The right of expropriation granted herein shall be exercised only by the non-federal sponsor if the United States Army Corps of Engineers agrees to accept the operation and maintenance of the Freshwater Bayou By-Pass channel, structures, and improvements.
