§ 5591.21.
Except as provided in section 5501.49 of the Revised Code , the board of county commissioners shall construct and keep in repair necessary bridges
over streams and public canals on or connecting state, county, and improved roads. The board may submit to the electors the question of issuing county bonds for the
construction of bridges on proposed state or county roads or connecting state or county
roads, one or more of which may be proposed, but such bonds shall not be issued or
sold until the proposed roads are actually established. When the board determines it unnecessary in the construction of any bridge and the
approaches thereto to acquire the entire land upon and over which the same shall be
located, it may acquire such part of the land and easements and rights in the remainder
thereof as are necessary and sufficient for such construction.
