§ 3579. Towns may require repairs
When the selectboard of a town in which such crossing is located is of the opinion
that such bridge, culvert, crossing, or construction requires repairing or rebuilding
in order to be safe for travel thereon, the selectboard may notify the corporation
required by this chapter to repair or rebuild the same by leaving a written notice
to that effect with the president, superintendent of such road, or the clerk of such
corporation. When such corporation does not repair or rebuild the same within one

repairs or rebuilding to be made as are necessary for the safety of the traveling
public. (Amended 1959, No. 329 (Adj. Sess.), § 39(b), eff. March 1, 1961; 1993, No. 172 (Adj. Sess.), § 53.)
