§ 269. Extraordinary repairs of highways and bridges. If any highway or bridge or the board walk on any highway less than two rods in width, or a walk built to replace the same under section one hundred and fifty-one, shall at any time be damaged or destroyed by the elements or otherwise, or become unsafe for public use and travel, or if any bridge or the board walk on any highway less than two rods in width, or any such walk built to replace the same, be condemned by the department of transportation, as provided in this chapter, the town superintendent shall cause the same to be immediately repaired or rebuilt, with the approval of the town board. Such highway or bridge or walk shall be so repaired or rebuilt in accordance with the directions or the plans and specifications prepared or approved by the county superintendent; except if the bridge or walk to be repaired or rebuilt is one which has been condemned by the department of transportation, as provided in this chapter, the same shall be repaired or rebuilt in accordance with plans and specifications to be prepared or approved by the department of transportation. The town clerk shall prepare a statement showing the probable cost of improving, repairing or rebuilding such highway or bridge or walk, which statement shall be signed in duplicate by a majority of the members of the town board, one of which duplicates shall be filed with the town clerk and one be delivered to the supervisor. The town clerk shall make a copy of such statement and transmit the same to the department of transportation. The supervisor shall present such statement to the board of supervisors, who shall cause the amount contained in such statement to be assessed, levied and collected in the same manner as amounts levied and collected for other highway and bridge purposes, as provided by law. The amount so raised shall be paid to the supervisor to be expended for the purposes specified in such statement. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the financing of such repairing or rebuilding, in whole or in part, pursuant to the local finance law.
