Chapter 7. Location of County Highways Over Routes of
Abandoned State Highways
IC 8-20-7-1
Authority to locate and establish highway over route of abandoned
highway
Sec. 1. When a county highway has been taken over by the
Indiana department of transportation and incorporated in the state
highway system and is subsequently abandoned as a state highway,
the executive of the county where the highway is located may
establish a highway over the route of the abandoned highway. The
right-of-way of the highway has the same boundaries as the
boundaries of the highway when it was abandoned as a state
highway. The executive may acquire the land necessary for the
right-of-way by donation, purchase, or through the exercise of
eminent domain. The executive may remove any obstructions placed
on the highway since its abandonment.
