in the state according to such report.
Each county treasurer shall deposit such funds to the county’s
county highway fund and such funds shall be used for constructing
and maintaining the county highway system.
2. One-third (1/3) of the monies deposited to the credit of the
PACT Fund shall be used as necessary for the reconstruction of
county bridges on the portion of the county highway system defined
as major collector routes in accordance with the provisions of
Section 654 of Title 69 of the Oklahoma Statutes this title. Prior
to any funds for such projects being allocated, the counties shall
submit the proposed projects to the Department of Transportation,
which shall evaluate and confirm whether the proposed projects are
in accordance with the criteria provided for in this subsection.
Bridges proposed for reconstruction will be generally evaluated
based on the state of project innovation, readiness, structural
