§ 306a. Class 1 town highways; Agency responsibility for scheduled surface maintenance
(a) Unless otherwise directed by the legislative body of a municipality, the Agency shall
assume direct responsibility for scheduled surface maintenance of all class 1 town
highways at no expense to the municipality. The class 1 town highways shall be included
in the Agency’s pavement management system and analyzed for resurfacing needs and
considered for programming of available federal and State funds on the same basis
as State highways.
(b) The provisions of this section shall not affect any legislative body’s jurisdiction
over class 1 town highways or any municipality’s responsibility for general maintenance
of class 1 town highways, including spot patching, traffic control devices, curbs,
sidewalks, drainage, and snow removal.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, major reconstruction of class 1 town
highways, beyond the usual scope of resurfacing, shall continue to be a municipal
responsibility, subject to availability of federal and State aid under chapter 15
of this title and payment of the uniform local share under section 309a of this title. (Added 1993, No. 61, § 11, eff. June 3, 1993; amended 1995, No. 183 (Adj. Sess.), § 18c, eff. May 22, 1996; 2021, No. 20, § 89.)
