What should the right of way look like after construction is completed?
During construction, right of way areas could become rutted or the vegetation could wear away due to vehicle traffic or other construction activities.

Will LCRA install gates and fences along the right of way?
LCRA does not fence the right of way. If fences cross the right of way, LCRA will install gates so that its access can be maintained along the right of way. If the landowner requests them, LCRA will install locks on the gates. LCRA always locks right-of-way gates that enter onto public roadways.
