Conn. Gen. Stat. § 13a-133: Contracts with railroads where tracks to be altered. Advancement of funds.

The commissioner may enter into agreements with railroad corporations for the purpose of performing any work which may be necessary in connection with the construction of highways, bridges and other public works undertaken by the Department of Transportation whenever such construction or work would entail relocation, alteration or other work on the tracks, bridges or other property of such corporations. Any such agreement, subject to the approval of the State Treasurer, may provide for the monthly advancement of funds to a special bank account administered jointly by the railroad corporations and the State Treasurer, for the purpose of covering the cost of such work, whenever it appears that otherwise delay would result in the reasonable progress of such work which would unreasonably obstruct and impede the construction of highways and disrupt the free flow of public transportation.
