§ 979. Road or bridge between towns or counties
If the defective highway or bridge is on the line between two towns, and both towns
are liable to keep the highway or bridge in repair, notice shall be given to both
towns, and they shall be jointly liable the same as if the highway or bridge were
in one town. Where the highway or bridge complained of is located on the line between
two counties, all questions arising under the provisions of this chapter may be tried
in the county where the complaint is made. (Added 1985, No. 269 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
