31-24-6. Entrance to existing highway at owner's expense--Permit--Construction in accordance with approved plans. If any public highway as already constructed is of such character as to deprive the owner of the abutting land of easy and convenient access from the owner's land to the highway, the owner of the land may, at the owner's expense, except as provided by chapters 31-7 and 31-8, construct an entrance to the abutting land. However, no entrance may be constructed until the landowner has obtained a permit from the authority whose duty it is to maintain the highway for the construction of the entrance. The entrance shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the authority. The authority shall fix the width and location of the entrance and the entrance shall be constructed in accordance therewith.
