§ 13a-89 — Appeal to commissioner from posted weight restriction.

Any person may appeal to the commissioner from the restriction of the use of any bridge imposed by the posting of a maximum weight notice as provided in section 13a-121. Upon such appeal the commissioner shall inspect such bridge and may, after due notice thereof to all parties in interest and hearing thereon, order the authority having control of such bridge to increase its capacity to such extent as he finds public convenience and necessity require. If such authority fails to make such repairs or reconstruction as are necessary so to increase the capacity of such bridge within sixty days after receiving notice from the commissioner to do so, the commissioner may so repair or reconstruct such bridge and the authority having control of such bridge shall be liable for the cost of such repair or reconstruction.
