§ 84. Construction or reconstruction of any road or highway in

connection with projects on the principal secondary and feeder roads.

The commissioner of transporation may, upon the request of a county

through its board of supervisors, include in any project on the federal

principal secondary and feeder road system, any work of construction,

reconstruction or improvement of any road or highway that is located

within the boundaries of such county and that is or shall form a

continuation or extension of any such principal secondary and feeder

road or shall be in connection therewith. Whenever the commissioner of

transportation shall approve such a request of a county, he shall cause

surveys and plans to be made either by the county or by the department

of transportation. Estimates of the construction and engineering costs

shall be made and submitted to the commissioner of transportation for

approval. If approved, such county shall thereupon deposit such

estimated amounts of monies with the comptroller, who is authorized to

receive and accept the same for the purpose of this section, subject to

the draft or requisition of the commissioner of transportation. Upon the

completion and acceptance of the construction work, the commissioner of

transportation shall render to the board of supervisors of such county

an itemized statement showing in full the amount of money deposited by

such county with the comptroller as hereinbefore provided and all

expenditures made for the construction and engineering work connected

therewith made pursuant to this section. Any surplus money shall be paid

to such county on the warrant of the comptroller on vouchers therefor

approved by the commissioner of transportation.
