Proposed Change to Henry County Entrance Policy
Presently the Henry County Secondary Road Department maintains all entrances adjacent to Henry County Roads. It is required that all new entrances be constructed at the expense of the landowner and that culverts for new entrances shall be made of concrete pipe or corrugated metal pipe. Henry County is considering the allowance of dual wall polyethylene pipe for culverts in new entrances. The county engineer has proposed the following options to be considered as Henry County Entrance Policy:

1. Retain the current Entrance Policy.

2. Allow the use of plastic dual-wall culverts. Installation & maintenance of driveways to remain per existing county policy. Henry County would not stock plastic culverts.

3. Allow the use of plastic dual-wall culverts. Installation & maintenance of driveways to remain per existing county policy except; landowner will be responsible for cost of any future plastic dual-wall driveway culverts.

4. Landowners to be responsible for driveway entrances adjacent to property. County to allow the landowners to install and maintain all driveways within county ROW. All work to install new driveways to be completed to county specifications by permit. County would no longer stock or deliver entrance culverts. County responsibility would be similar to State DOT – maintenance for county would end at the entrance shoulder. Projected average saving to county of $65,000 per year.
