§ 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.
