7Board of Trade may require Bridge instead of level Crossing.
The Board of Trade may, if it appears to them necessary for the Public Safety, at any Time after the passing of the Special Act, require the Company, within such Time as the Board of Trade directs, and at the Expense of the Company, to carry the Turnpike Road or Public Carriageroad either under or over the Railway by means of a Bridge or Arch, instead of crossing the same on the Level, or to execute such other Works as, under the Circumstances of the Case, may appear to the Board of Trade best adapted for removing or diminishing the Danger arising from the level Crossing.
Where the Road is so carried either under or over the Railway, it shall not be necessary for the Company to erect or maintain a Lodge at the Point where the Road is crossed, or to appoint a Person to watch or superintend the Crossing thereat, nor shall they be liable to any Penalty for Failure so to do.
