234.150. Condemnation of property for public use, proceedings. — 1. Every county commission participating by authority in this law, in the purchase of or a contract for right-of-way over a bridge, shall cause such a highway to be opened in the county as may be necessary to give access to such bridge by the public; and every city so participating shall cause such streets or highways to be opened in the city as may be necessary for such purpose.

2. If the county commission or the city cannot agree with the owner of any land needed as right-of-way for such highway as to the amount to be paid him as damages for opening such highway, or if any such owner be incapable in law of making conveyance of such right-of-way, proceedings may be instituted in the circuit court in the name of such county, or of such city, for the condemnation of the lands, or any part thereof, needed for such right-of-way. The proceedings in the circuit court for the condemnation of such lands or any part thereof shall be had and conducted in the same manner and with like effect as provided in chapter 523 for condemnation of property for public use.
