Current through June 25, 2024
This rule sets forth a uniform policy establishing the
						conditions under which public and private utilities may be accommodated on the
						freeway right-of-way, which does not adversely affect highway or traffic
						safety, or otherwise impair the highway or its' aesthetic quality, and does not
						conflict with the provisions of federal, state or local laws or regulations. It

A uniform policy is needed to establish the conditions
						under which public and private utilities may be accommodated on the freeway
						right-of-way, which does not adversely affect highway or traffic safety, or
						otherwise impair the highway or its' aesthetic quality, and does not conflict
						with the provisions of federal, state or local laws or regulations. Although

						and operation, said policy recognizes the public interest in avoiding
						unnecessary and costly operation of public utilities. It is not the intent of
						this policy to impose restrictions on the future installation of utility
						crossings that would obstruct the development of expanded areas adjacent to the
						freeways. This policy applies to all highways with full control of access,

Current through June 25, 2024
1. This policy applies to utilities within
					 freeway rights of way. The principles set forth in this policy apply to all
					 public and private utilities including but not limited to communication,
					 electric power, cable television, water, gas, oil, slurry, petroleum products,
					 sewer, drainage, irrigation and similar facilities. Such utilities may involve
					 construction and maintenance of underground, surface or overhead facilities,
					 either singularly or in combination. This policy does not apply to utilities
					 for servicing facilities needed for operating the freeway.

Current through June 25, 2024
1.
					 Installation of new utilities will not be permitted longitudinally within the
					 control of access lines of any freeway, except that in special cases such
					 installations may be permitted under strictly controlled conditions. The
					 location of such installations, if permitted, will generally be restricted to
					 the outer ten (10) feet of the right of way. Installation of utilities will not
					 be allowed longitudinally within the median area.
2. Some special cases, referenced above, that
					 may warrant accommodation on the right of way are (1) significantly undesirable
					 social, economic, or environmental effects on adjacent property, (2)
					 prohibitively excessive right of way costs on areas adjacent to the freeway,
					 (3) unique nature of adjacent property (irreplaceable historical, parkland,
					 recreational or other function), (4) temporary, short-term emergency needs, (5)
					 Communication utility lines, such as fiber optic or telephone lines, crossing
					 the Mississippi River or other circumstances that the Mississippi
					 Transportation Commission may specifically authorize.
3. Where such longitudinal installations are
					 requested, the utility owner must in each case show that:
a. The accommodation will not adversely
					 affect the safety, design, construction, operation, maintenance or stability of
					 the freeway.
b. The accommodation
					 will not be constructed and/or serviced by direct access from the through
					 traffic roadways or connecting ramps.
c. The accommodation will not interfere with
					 or impair the present use or future expansion of the freeway; and,
d. Any alternative location would be contrary
					 to the public interest. This determination would include an environmental
					 evaluation of the direct and indirect environmental and economic effects
					 covering on and off right of way alternates.

Current through June 25, 2024
1.
					 Where a utility already exists within the proposed right-of-way of a freeway
					 and it can be serviced, maintained and operated without access from the through
					 traffic roadways or ramps, it may remain as long as it does not adversely
					 affect the safety, design, construction, operation, maintenance or stability of
					 the freeway. Otherwise, it must be relocated.

Current through June 25, 2024
1. Where a
					 freeway crosses a major valley or river on an existing structure, any utility
					 carried by the structure at the time the highway route is improved may continue
					 to be carried when relocation of the utility would be very costly and provided
					 the utility can be serviced without interference with road users. Expansion of
					 a utility carried by an existing structure across a major valley or river may
					 be permitted provided the utility can be installed and serviced without
					 interference with road users.
2.
					 New utility installations will not be permitted on a structure across a major
					 valley or river at or after the time the highway route is improved, except for
					 special cases as covered in Section 404 of this policy.

Current through June 25, 2024
New utility installations and adjustments or relocation
						of existing utilities may be permitted to cross a freeway. To the extent
						feasible and practicable they should cross on a line generally perpendicular to
						the freeway alignment and preferably under the freeway.
1. Utilities Along Roads or Streets Crossing
					 Freeways
a. Where a utility follows a
					 crossroad or street which is carried over or under a freeway, provisions should
					 be made for the utility to cross the freeway on the location of the crossroad
					 or street in such manner that the utility can be constructed and/or serviced
					 without access from the freeway roadway or ramps. Generally the utilities are
					 to be located within the right-of-way of the crossroad or street, existing or
					 relocated, and may cross over or under the freeway, provided installation and
					 servicing thereof can be accomplished without access from the freeway roadways
					 or ramps. Utilities will not be permitted to be attached to bridges, except for
					 water or communication lines referenced in Rule 37.1.7501.04015, Parallel
					 Utility Lines and Overhead Crossing Encroachment Permits, Section 600. Where
					 distinct advantage and appreciable cost saving are effected by locating the
					 utilities outside the right-of-way of the crossroads or street they may be so
					 located, in which case they shall be located and treated in the same manner as
					 utility lines crossing the freeway at points removed from grade separation
					 structures as in the sections that follow.

Current through June 25, 2024
1. Access for
					 servicing a utility along or across a freeway should be limited to access via
					 (a) frontage roads where provided, (b) nearby or adjacent public roads and
					 streets, or (c) trails along or near the highway right-of-way lines, connecting
					 only to an intersecting road.
2.
					 In those special cases where utility supports, manholes, or other appurtenances
					 are located in medians or interchange areas, access to them from
					 through-traffic roadways or ramps may be permitted, but only by permits issued
					 by the Department to the utility owner setting forth the conditions for
					 policing and other controls to protect highway users.
3. Where utilities are located outside the
					 control of access line and where such utilities may require maintenance from
					 within the freeway right-of-way, a permit must be obtained from the Department.
					 Advance arrangements should also be made between the utility and the Department
					 for emergency maintenance procedures.
