The Department of Transportation and Development may give priority and advance to construction as expeditiously as possible any bridge project where a bridge replaces a tunnel. The department may use any available source of funds to finance such projects, and may use any available source of funds, including the secretary's emergency fund, as matching funds to meet federal requirements in order to receive federal aid funds. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the department may contract for such projects using any contract method provided by law, including design-build or construction management at risk.
