§ 6131.631.
(A) When construction of a new single span bridge or culvert or extension of an existing
culvert that will limit the future deepening of a public watercourse is contemplated
in connection with the construction of a state highway or other public improvement,
the director of transportation or other public agency proposing the construction shall
file plans for the construction with the clerk of the board of county commissioners
of the county in which the construction or improvement is to be constructed. (B) The clerk shall immediately refer the plans to the county engineer who shall review
the proposed location, both horizontal and vertical, of the proposed structures and
the effect of the proposed improvements on any other improvements and on any highways
in the area. (C) The county engineer shall file, within sixty days, with the clerk of the board of
county commissioners and the director of transportation or other public agency a report
of the review with such recommendations for change, amendment, or alteration in the
plans for the proposed improvement as the engineer may determine to be necessary in

to the county engineer's recommendations, are approved by the county engineer, the
engineer shall file, within sixty days, a certificate of approval with the clerk of
the board of county commissioners. If the engineer does not file such a report of the engineer's review with the clerk
within sixty days after the date that the plans were referred to the engineer, the
engineer's approval shall be presumed by the clerk. (E) The improvement shall then be constructed in accordance with the approved plans at
the expense of the department of transportation or other public agency.
