(605 ILCS 5/6-402) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-402)
Sec. 6-402.
Bridges or culverts on roads on district lines, except as
provided in Section 5-503 of this Code, shall be constructed and repaired
by such districts and the expense of such construction and repair shall be
borne in proportion to the assessed value of the taxable property in the
respective districts according to the last preceding equalized assessment
thereof prior to such construction or repair; or the commissioners of such
adjoining road districts may enter into joint contracts, which may provide
for any just division of cost. Such contracts may be
judicially enforced against such commissioners jointly, the same as if entered
into by individuals, and such commissioners may be proceeded against
jointly by any parties interested in such bridges or culverts, for any
neglect of duty in reference to such bridges or culverts, or for any damage
growing out of such neglect.
