§264-31  Maintenance of federal-aid
highways.  (a)  The maintenance work on all roads upon which federal-aid
funds have been expended shall be performed under the direction and supervision
of the director of transportation either by public employment or by contract,
or the director may have the work performed by the county road department, by
public employment or by contract, upon authorization of the council of the
county concerned.  Expenditures for the maintenance work shall be made from the
state highway fund created by section 248-8.

extent to which work undertaken will increase traffic congestion and the
director shall ensure that action is taken to reasonably minimize any adverse
impact.  The feasibility of off-hour maintenance work shall be considered for
all maintenance work that results in significant traffic congestion or delay.



(c)  As used in this section, "off-hour
maintenance work" means maintenance work performed between the hours of
six o'clock p.m. and six o'clock a.m. [L 1929, c 53, pt of §1; RL 1935, §1720;
