§ 5535.07.
The director of transportation shall take over, for maintenance purposes such mileage
of the system of intercounty highways outside of municipal corporations, as has not
been constructed by the state or taken over by the state for maintenance. All such portions of the intercounty highway system not at present under state maintenance
shall be first improved by the county to an extent which in the opinion of the director
will permit economical maintenance for the purpose of making them passable for traffic. The director shall maintain said roads and highways, and the respective counties and
townships of the state in which such roads and highways are located shall be relieved
of the duty of their maintenance. For the purpose of this section, maintenance does not include the construction of
any new bridges or culverts or the replacement of any bridges or culverts destroyed
by the elements or by natural wear, nor any construction work changing the type of
construction existing on said roads at the time the same are taken over in accordance
with this section. This section does not prevent the authorities of any county or township from co-operating
with the state in the construction, maintenance, or repair of any section of such
highways within such county or township.
