§ 24-1-103 — State transportation commission of Wyoming to acquire right-of-way; when right-of-way becomes state property

The transportation commission is hereby authorized, required and
may proceed under the provisions of W.S. 24-2-109(a), to secure
the right-of-way for all state highways presently designated by
the transportation commission as part of the state highway
system or in the future to be designated as part of the state
highway system. When any state highway designated by the
transportation commission shall occupy in whole or in part the
right-of-way of a formerly constructed highway, whether a county
highway or a state highway, so much of the right-of-way as is
occupied in the construction of the new highway or
reconstruction of the previously constructed highway shall
become the property of the state.
