N.Y. Village Law § 6-606: When village may construct or repair bridges

§ 6-606 When village may construct or repair bridges. A village may

assume the control, care and maintenance of a bridge or bridges wholly

within its boundaries, upon the adoption of a resolution of the board of

trustees therefor; such action, however, shall be subject to a

permissive referendum as provided in this chapter or the board of

trustees may enter into an agreement with the town, in which any part of

such village is situated, to construct or repair a bridge in any part of

the village included in such town, at the joint expense of the village

and town, which agreement shall fix the portion to be paid by each. Such

action of the board of trustees shall be subject to a permissive

referendum as provided in this chapter.

Nothing in this section shall be deemed to limit the power of villages

to enter into agreements for the construction and repair of bridges

pursuant to the provisions of article five-G of the general municipal

law.
