For the purpose of this chapter, the highway authorities of the state, counties, cities, and towns may acquire private or public property and property rights for controlled-access facilities and service roads, including rights of access, air, view, and light, by gift, devise, purchase, or condemnation in the same manner as the authorities are now or hereafter may be authorized by law to acquire the property or property rights in connection with highways and streets within their respective jurisdictions.
