(605 ILCS 5/9-105) (from Ch. 121, par. 9-105)
Sec. 9-105.
In constructing a public highway, if a ditch is made at the
junction of highways, or at the entrance of gates or other openings of
adjoining premises, the highway authorities shall construct good and
sufficient culverts or other convenient crossings. New entrance culverts or
crossings or additions to existing entrance culverts or crossings along an
existing public highway or street where there is a ditch may be made with
the consent of the highway authorities, provided the applicant for such
entrance culvert or crossing constructs at the applicant's expense a good
and sufficient culvert or other convenient crossing of the type and size
specified by the highway authorities, which structure shall then become the
property of the public.
