(605 ILCS 5/5-405) (from Ch. 121, par. 5-405)
Sec. 5-405.
County highways may be constructed or improved on county lines.
In case two counties desire to secure the construction or improvement of a
county highway situated upon or near the boundary line between them, the
respective county boards thereof may, by appropriate resolutions, initiate
proceedings therefor. To this end such county boards may, by concurring
resolutions, fix the portion of the total cost of construction which should
be borne by each county.
In all proceedings contemplating the construction or improvement of a
county line highway as herein provided, all acts of each county board
relative thereto, together with the result of any vote upon the question of
levying a tax or issuing bonds as provided herein, shall be communicated by
the county clerk of each county to the county clerk of the other county.
In case either county refuses to take the steps necessary to secure the
construction or improvement of such county line highway as herein provided,
then all prior proceedings relative thereto on the part of the other county
shall be regarded as suspended.
