An Act relative to the building or rebuilding of bridges on land that falls under the jurisdiction of more than one municipality

HD 2169 requires municipalities involved in building or rebuilding bridges across jurisdictional boundaries to first create a formal inter-municipal agreement. This agreement must address buffer zones, evaluate alternatives, assess costs/benefits and environmental impacts, coordinate infrastructure needs, and establish cooperative planning procedures. The agreement must detail cost-sharing, termination rules, communication channels, and dispute resolution before municipalities can seek state legislative approval. Once approved by both local governments and the state legislature, the agreement becomes binding, allowing construction to proceed. This bill directly affects towns and cities planning bridge projects spanning multiple municipal borders.
