    § 6-604 Care of bridges. If the board of trustees of a village has the
  supervision  and  control  of  a  bridge  therein,  it shall continue to

  public  bridge  within  a  village  shall  be  under  the control of the
  superintendants of highways of the town in which the bridge is wholly or
  partly situated, or such other officer as may be designated  by  special
  law,  and  the expense of constructing and repairing such bridge and the
  approaches thereto is a town charge,  unless  the  village  assumes  the
  whole or part of such expense.
