24-07-21. Repair of highways across railroads, canals, or ditches Whenever highways are laid out across railroads, canals, or ditches on public lands, the owners at their own expense shall so repair their railroads, canals, or ditches that the public highway may cross the same without damage or delay, and when the right of way for a public highway is obtained through the judgment of any court, over any railroad, canal, or ditch, no damages must be awarded for the simple right to cross the same.
