In case of damage or destruction, the proceeds of such insurance shall be applied to the restoration of such bridge. Any such bridge may be so insured irrespective of the retirement of all indebtedness incurred for its acquisition or construction, and the cost of such insurance shall be paid from any funds available to the department for highway purposes.
