I have a shared right of way with a small bridge,. the other party are demanding I contribute to upgrade the bridge and right of way for light commerical vehicles. However they have had bulldozers on trucks being transported up the right of way and over the bridge, which you can imagine are extremely heavy, plus other heavy machinery being transported by trucks.

Q. What I understand is that I only have to contribute to have it maintained to the level of use that I require it for...which is a small 4wd. Is this correct?

Q. If the bridge and right of way is damaged by the heavy vehicles are the other party liable to rectify this damage?
