(b) When the entire section of an existing State highway, which is replaced or to be replaced as contemplated by section 1901 of this title, is not in fact ultimately acquired by the United States, and so much of the section as is not so acquired is, in the judgment of the Board, no longer needed as a part of the State highway system, the Board may relinquish control of that portion to the town in which that portion is located.
