Title 16 - TRANSPORTATION
Chapter 38 - ROADSIDE, DRAINAGE, UNUSUAL, AND DISASTER MAINTENANCE
Subchapter 3 - RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAINTENANCE
Section 16:38-3.3 - Drainage

Abutting property owners are responsible for maintaining drainage systems within the limits of their property and within the State right-of-way limits to their connection to the State system, unless a drainage easement exists. If the State returns to this particular section of State right-of-way limits to conduct drainage work, other than inspection, general maintenance, or in-kind repair, the State will again assume the responsibility for maintaining drainage systems within this area up to the property lines of the abutting property owner. Upon completion of the drainage work, the responsibility shall revert to the abutting property owners.
