Section 13b-283-5 - Apportionment of cost(1) The State shall pay seventy percent (70%) of all project costs. The municipality in which the orphan bridge is located shall pay fifteen percent (15%) of all project costs. The railroad over which an orphan bridge passes shall pay fifteen percent (15%) of all project costs, except on those projects where a federal aid funding is used, the Railroad's share shall be in accordance with federal law. In the case where more than one railroad company owns track beneath an orphan bridge, the cost shall be divided equally between such railroad companies. For those portions of the project costs that the municipality and the railroad are legally obligated to pay, there shall be no restrictions on the source of these funds and may include funds made available through other Federal or State grant or loan programs, as those programs allow.
(2) The State shall bear the full cost of orphan bridge inspection and maintenance as defined in Section 13b-283-1 of these regulations. Services provided by the municipality and the railroad in accordance with Section 13b-283-3, Subsection (1) and Section 13b-283-4, Subsection (1) respectively, shall be considered as "in-kind service" contributions for expenses incurred by the Department for inspection and maintenance.Conn.
