 (from Ch. 121, par. 5-503)Sec. 5-503.         Bridges, culverts or drainage structures for across highway  waterways having a waterway opening of 25 square feet or more and located  on county highways, township roads or district roads on county lines, and  bridges, culverts or drainage structures for across highway waterways  having a waterway opening of 25 square feet or more and located on such  county line highways where such highways deviate from the established  county line within 80 rods of county lines, shall be constructed and  repaired by such counties and the expense of such construction and repair  shall be borne in a proportion to the assessed value of the taxable  property in the respective counties according to the last preceding  equalized assessment thereof prior to such construction or repair. The  county boards of such adjoining counties may enter into joint contracts for  a division of such expense other than that above provided which may be just  and equitable, and such contracts may be judicially enforced against  such county boards, and such county boards may be proceeded against  jointly, by any parties interested in such bridges, culverts or drainage  structures for any neglect of duty in reference to such bridges, culverts  or drainage structures for any damages growing out of such neglect.When any county desires to construct or repair any such bridge, culvert  or drainage structure and has appropriated its share of the cost of  constructing or repairing the same, it shall be the duty of such other  county to make an appropriation for its proportionate share of the expense  of such construction or repair. If such other county fails or refuses to  make such appropriation, any court of competent jurisdiction, upon a  petition for that purpose, shall enter an order to compel  such other county  to make such appropriation; or the county which has made its appropriation  may, after giving due notice to the other county, proceed with the  construction or repair of the bridge, culvert or drainage structure and if  the construction or repair is reasonable in kind and costs, recover from  the other county, by suit, such proportionate share of the expense as the  other county is liable for, with costs of the action and interest from the  time of the completion of the construction or repair, but, if the expense  of the construction or repair of the bridge, culvert or drainage structure  is unreasonable then the county may recover only the other county's  proportionate share of an amount equal to a reasonable expense for the  construction or repair.

Any bridge or culvert, or both, that has been constructed,  repaired or maintained by adjoining counties may be abandoned and the use  thereof for road purposes discontinued if the county boards of such  adjoining counties determine by concurrent resolution that:(1) the bridge or culvert, or both, proposed to be abandoned is unsafe  for the use of traffic and is in need of extensive repair or replacement,  but the amount of traffic making use of such structure or structures is so  small that the expense of repairing or replacing the structure or  structures cannot be justified;(2) other means of access between the counties are available to  adequately serve traffic in the area served by the bridge or culvert, or  both, proposed to be abandoned;(3) it will be in the best interest of the majority of the residents of  each county to abandon the use of such bridge or culvert, or both; and(4) an agreement has been reached as to the share of the cost of removal  of any bridge so abandoned that is to be borne by each county, which  agreement shall be set out in the resolution.Whenever the use of any bridge is abandoned under the provisions of this  Section such bridge shall be promptly removed and the watercourse over  which it passed left unobstructed.
