Summary
The state is taking months to reimburse the county for bridge and road work already paid for, and none of the county's bridge projects are in construction right now. As costs climb into the millions, slow reimbursements could strain county cash flow.

Impact analysis
Projects like the Falls Road Bridge are expected to exceed the $5 million Bridge NY cap, leaving the county to cover the difference while waiting months for state checks.
Better state cash flow keeps road and bridge repairs moving for all county drivers.
County taxpayers effectively float the costs while the state sits on reimbursements.
