The maintenance of paved driveway connections to abutting
						property is the responsibility of the abutting property owner and the utility
						owner is responsible to such person or persons for the method used in
						accomplishing the driveway crossing. The maintenance of private unpaved
						driveway connections to abutting property is the responsibility of the
						Department, but the utility owner is responsible to such person or persons for
						the method used in accomplishing the driveway crossing and for returning the
						driveway to a condition acceptable to the abutting property owner. (Reference

Current through June 25, 2024
All lines required to be jacked or bored and not
						required to be encased will be of material of adequate strength and design for
						jacking or boring; in lieu thereof, an encasement of adequate strength and
						design may be jacked or bored and the carrier pipe inserted
						therein.
Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 37 - Transportation and Highways › Part 1 - Mississippi Department of Transportation › Subpart 7501 - Maintenance › Chapter 04001 - Underground Utility Crossings › CONSTRUCTION DETAILS - OPEN TRENCHES - ENCASEMENT LENGTHS › Section 37-1-7501-04001-501

Current through June 25, 2024
Encasements will extend at least six (6) feet from the
						toe of fill slopes and at least six (6) feet from the ditch line in ditch
						sections; however, all encasements will extend at least ten (10) feet from the
						roadway shoulder when shallow or no ditch sections; flat slopes, etc. are
						encountered. (See Attachment A for details). The required encasement lengths
						and limits for the specific permit shall be determined by the District on a
						case-by-case basis. Open trenches approaching jacked, bored or tunneled
						crossings will not be excavated more than two (2) feet toward the highway from
						the end of the encasement. No open trench in cut sections or no ditch sections
						will encroach upon the pavement base, subbase or treated design soil. Depth of
						cover will be sufficient to clear any pavement base, sub-base or treated design
						soil by at least one (1) foot and in no instance should the top of the
						encasement or the carrier pipe be less than thirty-six (36) inches below any
						ditch bottom. Crossing approaches and parallel lines shall have thirty-six (36)
						inches minimum cover. Where soil conditions, depth of trench, or other factors
						constitute a hazard to the roadway or to the highway user, the length of
						encasement and open trench restrictions will be increased as necessary. Where
						necessary, sheeting may be required.
All fuel carrier pipes which are required to be encased
						or on which encasements are used will be vented. Vents will be placed on the
						right of way line or not more than one (1) foot inside the right of way and the
						top of the vent will be located three (3) feet above the ground as a minimum.
						In municipal or other built-up sections, there is often not enough street width
						to provide the required open trench clearances or sufficient space for boring,
						jacking or tunneling pits. These instances will be treated as special cases,
						each according to its merits. They should be fully documented and referred to
						the State Maintenance Engineer for disposition.

To regulate the use of state highway rights of way, the
						highway and its appurtenances so that their primary functions of providing a
						means for the safe and convenient movement of goods, vehicles and pedestrians
						will be enhanced and preserved. Utility companies have legal rights to place
						their lines upon the rights of way and abutting property owners have certain
						legal rights of ingress and egress to their own property. The Transportation
						Commission has the legal right to regulate such placement of utility lines and
						rights of ingress and egress. In order to accommodate present and future
						utility requests, it is necessary to efficiently manage and apportion the
						available right of way to the various utilities in widths no more than
						necessary for each installation and to locate each installation to conserve the
						remaining available width for future utility requests. Strict adherence to the
						approved permit should remove conflicts with other utility construction and
						prevent cutting of underground facilities by the Department's construction and
						maintenance equipment. In general, no utility or other encroachment has the
						right to interfere with the construction or the maintenance of the highway or
						with the safety of the traveling public. Reference is made to Rule
						37.1.7501.03001, Processing of Permit Applications.

This section defines the roadway classification system
						for the Mississippi Department of Transportation. The roadway classification
						system is consistent with the definitions as contained in the Access Management
						Manual. Note that the minimum design standards for the number and locations of
						the connections, median type and openings, turn lane requirements, and traffic
						signal location and distance will all be affected by speed and existing land
						use development.

TYPE 1 - FREEWAY - A freeway is defined as a highway or
						section thereof with full control of access which has been designated as such
						by order of the Commission. On freeways, no vehicular access from the abutting
						property to the through traffic lanes is permitted except at interchanges
						constructed at intersecting streets and highways. Frontage roads may be
						constructed on fully controlled access highways and, where constructed,
						vehicular access from the abutting property to the frontage road will be
						permitted. The frontage road will then carry such traffic to a cross road or
						street with an interchange for entry into the through traffic lanes.
						Pedestrians are not permitted to cross controlled access highways. Utility
						lines may be located on the right of way of fully controlled access highways
						when such locations conform to the requirements of the Department's Rules.
						Freeways may be developed by stage construction.
