§ 765. Time limits
When the Supreme or Superior Court orders a highway to be laid out or altered, it shall fix the time within which owners of lands taken shall remove their buildings, fences, timber, wood, and trees, and open the land for working, and the time when it shall be opened to be occupied; which time, without consent of the owner, shall not be less than two months, nor less than six months if the lands taken have buildings. The court may order sections of a highway to be completed in different times as circumstances may require, but the whole period shall not be less than one year. When the court orders the building of a bridge, it shall fix the time within which it shall be completed, which shall not be less than six months. (Added 1985, No. 269 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
