Bue where such board has been authorized by a vote of the electors under Section 5368, General Code, to expend in excess of $18,000 in the construction of a bridge on a given site connecting two state or county roads, it may thereafter lay out and acquire a road on such site and then construct th'e bridge within the limitations of the authorization.
