§ 224. Bridges. Neither in the improvement, repair or reconstruction
of town highways, nor in the surfacing thereof, pursuant to this
article, shall the continuity of the roadbed be interrupted by bridge
structures which are not at least four feet wider than such roadbed, but
not less than twenty-four feet, provided, that the county superintendent
and the commissioner may permit deviations below such minimum standards
in planning or during the course of completion of the work, if, in their
opinion, the particular circumstances make such deviation advisable.
Bridges built or retained on qualifying roads shall meet minimum
standards established by the commissioner.
