        313A.23  POLITICAL SUBDIVISION MAY AID.
         Whenever a proposed interstate bridge is to be acquired, purchased
      or constructed, any city, county, or other political subdivision
      located in relation to such facility so as to benefit directly or
      indirectly thereby, may, either jointly or separately, at the request
      of the department advance or contribute money, rights of way, labor,
      materials, and other property toward the expense of acquiring,
      purchasing or constructing the bridge, and for preliminary surveys
      and the preparation of plans and estimates of cost therefor and other
      preliminary expenses.  Any such city, county, or other political
      subdivision may, either jointly or separately, at the request of the
      department advance or contribute money for the purpose of
      guaranteeing the payment of interest or principal on the bonds issued
      by the department to finance the bridge.  Appropriations for such
      purposes may be made from any funds available, including county road
      funds received from or credited by the state, or funds obtained by
      excess tax levies made pursuant to law or the issuance of general
      obligation bonds for this purpose.  Money or property so advanced or
      contributed may be immediately transferred or delivered to the
      department to be used for the purpose for which contribution was
      made.  The department may enter into an agreement with a city,
      county, or other political subdivision to repay any money or the
      value of a right of way, labor, materials or other property so
      advanced or contributed.  The department may make such repayment to a
      city, county, or other political subdivision and reimburse the state
      for any expenditures made by it in connection with the bridge out of
      tolls and other revenues for the use of the bridge.
