[QUOTE="Tymurrey, post: 483859, member: 859"] My guess would just be a construction easement or temporary easement/ROW situation. Some areas where i worked on building roads the county or state wouldn't buy the land but would use it as a borrow area to get the dirt to build the road and when project was completed the landowner still owned the land. Depends on how bad the landowner didn't want to sell the land or how much the county/state was willing to pay. In my mind once the road is built and as long as there is adequate clear zone and room for maintenance, why does the state or county need to pay for the right of way and then be responsible for cost of maintaining it when it really doesn't have any benefit. Some areas get wider ROW due to height of the road versus ditch bottom to maintain a 4:1 slope going down or how wide they needed to cut the hill back on the back side of the ditch. [/QUOTE]
