§ 6-604 Care of bridges. If the board of trustees of a village has the
supervision and control of a bridge therein, it shall continue to
exercise such control under this chapter. In any other case, every
public bridge within a village shall be under the control of the
superintendants of highways of the town in which the bridge is wholly or
partly situated, or such other officer as may be designated by special
law, and the expense of constructing and repairing such bridge and the
approaches thereto is a town charge, unless the village assumes the
whole or part of such expense.
