The commissioner may transfer any highway, or section or appurtenance thereof, in the state highway system to the town or towns through which such highway, or section or appurtenance thereof, runs when it does not conform with the definitions set out in section 13a-14 or no longer serves the best interest of the state as a part of the state highway system, provided the commissioner shall put the same in reasonably good condition. Any town aggrieved by the transfer of any highway, or section or appurtenance thereof, may elect to submit the matter to arbitration as provided in section 13a-17.
