Pennsylvania Statutes Title 16 P.S. Counties § 2760. Contracts with municipal corporations

(a) The board of commissioners may contract with the governing bodies of municipal corporations, separately or jointly, providing that the commissioners shall construct an improved road in a similar manner as a county road. The expense or cost of said construction shall be borne jointly by the municipal corporations and the county in such ratio or proportions as may be agreed on in said contract or contracts, irrespective of whether the municipal corporation intervenes between two ends of the county road or not, or whether it is the terminus of a county road, State highway or township road.

(b) Payment for the construction of roads under this section shall be made by the county, which shall be reimbursed by the municipal corporation in such sums as agreed upon in said contract or contracts.

(c) Any road jointly constructed under this section shall be repaired and maintained at the expense of the county, but nothing shall prevent the governing body of a municipal corporation from entering into a contract or contracts with the county for the maintenance of said improved road under such terms and conditions as may be mutually satisfactory.
