TITLE 33--NAVIGATION AND NAVIGABLE WATERS
CHAPTER 11--BRIDGES OVER NAVIGABLE WATERS
SUBCHAPTER II--ALTERATION OF BRIDGES
Sec. 520. Review of findings and orders
Any order made or issued under section 516 of this title may be
reviewed by the court of appeals for any judicial circuit in which the
bridge in question is wholly or partly located, if a petition for such
review is filed within three months after the date such order is issued.
The judgment of any such court shall be final except that it shall be
subject to review by the Supreme Court of the United States upon
certification or certiorari, in the manner provided in section 1254 of
title 28. The review by such Court shall be limited to questions of law,
and the findings of fact by the Secretary, if supported by substantial
evidence, shall be conclusive. Upon such review, such Court shall have
power to affirm or, if the order is not in accordance with law, to
modify or to reverse the order, with or without remanding the case for a
rehearing as justice may require. Proceedings under this section shall
not operate as a stay of any order of the Secretary issued under
provisions of this subchapter other than section 516 of this title, or
relieve any bridge owner of any liability or penalty under such
provisions.
