(605 ILCS 5/3-104) (from Ch. 121, par. 3-104)
Sec. 3-104.
The Department in cooperation with the county boards and
Federal Highway Administration is authorized to select and designate a
network of federal aid secondary highways consisting of not more than
25,000 miles to be known as the federal aid secondary network. The highways
included in such network shall be selected and designated in accordance
with the provisions of the Federal Aid Road Act, and shall consist of
highways not included in the federal aid primary or federal aid urban networks.
Any highway included in the approved federal aid secondary network may
be constructed jointly at the expense of the federal government and the
State of Illinois, or jointly at the expense of the federal government and
a county or counties, or jointly at the expense of the federal government,
the State of Illinois, and a county or counties, in accordance with the
provisions of the Federal Aid Road Act.
The local highway authorities having jurisdiction over a highway or
street prior to its selection and designation as a part of the federal aid
secondary network shall continue to be responsible for its maintenance
until such time as it has been constructed as provided herein. After a
highway has been so constructed, the Department is authorized to maintain
it, or, with the approval of the Federal Highway
Administration, to enter
into a formal agreement with the appropriate officials of the county in
which such highway is located, either prior to or after construction, for
its maintenance at the expense of such county. If at any time the
Department finds that the highway is not being properly maintained by such
county, the Department shall call such fact to the attention of the county
and if within 90 days after receipt of such notice the highway has not been
put in a condition of maintenance satisfactory to the Department and the
Federal Highway Administration, then the Department, with the consent of
the Federal Highway Administration, shall withhold approval of any further
federal aid secondary projects in such county until such highway has been
so restored.
