Pennsylvania Statutes Title 16 P.S. Counties § 5729. Rebuilding insufficient bridge

Whenever it shall appear to the commissioners that any county bridge is not sufficient for any cause to accommodate the public travel, they may erect and construct a new and sufficient bridge to take the place of the insufficient, destroyed or partially destroyed bridge, or may widen and straighten county bridges where deemed necessary to accommodate the public travel. Such new bridge when constructed shall be a county bridge.
