1. Constructing, building, repairing or discontinuing any highway or bridge therein, or upon its borders.

2. Repairing or rebuilding any highway or bridge or board walk, or renewal thereof, on any highway less than two rods in width, which shall at any time be damaged or destroyed by the elements or otherwise, or become unsafe for public use and travel.
