§ 340. Grant of property by municipalities, etc

All municipalities and political subdivisions of Puerto Rico, notwithstanding any contrary provision of law, are authorized to grant and convey to the Authority, upon its request and upon reasonable terms and conditions, any property or interest therein (including property already devoted to public use) which the Authority may deem necessary or convenient to effectuate the purposes of the Authority. The Authority shall have the right and power to construct or place any part or parts of any of its undertakings across, in, over, under, through or along any street, public highway, or any lands which are now or may hereafter be the property of the Commonwealth Government or any municipality or political subdivision thereof, without obtaining any franchise or other permit therefor. The Authority shall restore any such street, highway, or lands, as nearly as may be, to their condition or state at the beginning of the work, and shall not use the same in a manner to impair unnecessarily their usefulness.
