Annually, the General Assembly shall appropriate to the  Department of Transportation from the road fund, the general revenue  fund, any other State funds or a combination of those funds, $15,000,000  for apportionment to counties for the use of road districts for the  construction of bridges 20 feet or more in length, as provided in  Sections 6-902 through 6-905.The Department of Transportation shall apportion among the several  counties of this State for the use of road districts the amounts  appropriated under this Section.  The amount apportioned to a county  shall be in the proportion which the total mileage of township or  district roads in the county bears to the total mileage of all township  and district roads in the State.  Each county shall allocate to the  several road districts in the county the funds so apportioned to the  county.

The road  district  also becomes  eligible if it levies at or above the rate required for eligibility by Section  8 of the  Motor Fuel Tax Law.The amounts apportioned under this Section for allocation to road  districts may be used only for bridge construction as provided in this  Division.  So much of those amounts as are not obligated under Sections  6-902 through 6-904 and for which local funds have not been committed  under Section 6-905 within 48 months of the date  when such apportionment is  made lapses and shall not be paid to the county treasurer for  distribution to road districts.
