1. When a bridge, the cost of which will exceed $100, is necessary, any five or more freeholders of the road district interested therein may petition the board of county commissioners for the erection of such necessary bridge. The board of county commissioners must advertise such application, giving the location and other facts, for 2 weeks in a newspaper printed in the county if there is one; if none, then by posting a notice at the proposed location, one at the courthouse and one at some other public place in the county.

2. On the day fixed to hear the application, proof of the notice having been given being satisfactorily made, the board of county commissioners must hear the petition, examine witnesses, and determine whether or not a bridge is necessary to be constructed or repaired as petitioned for. If found necessary, the board of county commissioners must determine the character of the bridge to be constructed or repairs to be made, prepare plans and specifications, invite bids or otherwise let the contract for the construction or repair of the same as provided in NRS 403.490.
