N.Y. Highway Law § 224: Bridges

§ 224. Bridges. Neither in the improvement, repair or reconstruction

of town highways, nor in the surfacing thereof, pursuant to this

article, shall the continuity of the roadbed be interrupted by bridge

structures which are not at least four feet wider than such roadbed, but

not less than twenty-four feet, provided, that the county superintendent

and the commissioner may permit deviations below such minimum standards

in planning or during the course of completion of the work, if, in their

opinion, the particular circumstances make such deviation advisable.

Bridges built or retained on qualifying roads shall meet minimum

standards established by the commissioner.
