What does it mean to “abandon” an old highway after the construction of the relocated roadway is completed?
Cessation of use of right of way or activity thereon with no intention to reclaim or use again for highway purposes. In Idaho statutes Title 40, Chapter 2 – 40-203, “abandon” shall mean to reject all or part of the Department’s rights and responsibilities relating to all or part of a fragment, section, or route on the State highway system.
