Chapter 6 - UTILITY CONSTRUCTION WITHIN HIGHWAY RIGHT-OF-WAY
Section 6-1 - General
Current through December 21, 2024
(a) There are certain areas within the highway right-of-way that should be kept clear of utility facilities due to the hazard created to vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic and/or the restraints the utility facility imposes on the Department's routine maintenance work as well as roadway safety and widening projects.
(b) Utilities contemplating crossing or encroaching on highway R/W should incorporate the provisions of this regulation into their design in order to avoid redesign and delay in the approval of their license application.
(c) Applicants for a license to place facilities on or across the highway R/W are advised to establish the actual limits of the highway R/W instead of assuming that a fence represents the property line.
(d) If the facility being placed on the R/W causes any sort of damage to the right-of-way, paved areas, or highway appurtenances, during or after construction, the repair of such damage shall be paid for by the owner of the facility.
