Sec. 13a-175q. Local bridge program. The establishment of a program for the
removal, replacement, reconstruction, rehabilitation or improvement of local bridges is
a matter of state-wide concern affecting the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants
of the state and of persons traveling within the state. It is the policy of the state to establish
a timely and efficient method for municipalities to participate in this program and in
furtherance thereof, sections 13a-175p to 13a-175u, inclusive, are intended to provide
authority for municipalities to approve local bridge projects, and, in connection therewith, to authorize project loan agreements, and the issuance of project loan obligations
and supplemental project obligations. For the purpose of ensuring and encouraging
participation by municipalities in the benefits of the local bridge program, the powers
of municipalities are expressly enlarged and expanded to include the power to do all
things necessary and incident to their participation in the local bridge program under
sections 13a-175p to 13a-175u, inclusive.
