Sec. 1. (a) Within one (1) year after the opening for public use of any interstate bridge, the construction of which is authorized by any law of the state, regardless of the state agency, commission, or administrative body authorized to make such construction, the state agency, commission or administrative body so authorized to construct, operate, and maintain any interstate bridge shall purchase the ferry, equipment, real estate or interests therein, franchises, rights, and privileges used in connection with the operation of any ferry which has been in continuous operation for at least fifteen (15) years prior thereto and which is located within ten (10) miles of the site of the bridge, and pay the owner therefor a fair cash value.
