Sec. 5-407.
When a highway leading to a public ferry over a river which is
the boundary line between two counties, is subject to inundation and flood
damage, such highway in either or both of such counties may be constructed,
repaired or maintained by the adjoining counties, or either of them, or may
be partly constructed, repaired or maintained by both or either of such
counties.
The county boards of such adjoining counties may enter into a contract
as to the proportion of the expense of construction, repair or maintenance
to be borne by each, and such contracts shall be judicially enforceable;
or either county may construct or maintain, or assist in the
construction and maintenance of such highway in either or both counties.
