existing street or highway as included within a limited access facility. The state or any of

its subdivisions shall have authority to provide for the elimination of intersections at

grade of limited access facilities with existing state a nd county roads, and city and town

streets, by grade separation or service road, or by closing off such roads and streets at the

right-of-way boundary line of such limited access facility; and after the establishment of

any limited access facility, no high way or street which is not part of said facility shall

intersect the same at grade. No city or town street, county or state highway or other public

way shall be opened into or connected with any such limited access facility without the

consent and previous approval of the highway authority in the state, county, city, or town

having jurisdiction over such limited access facility. Such consent and approval shall be

given only if the public interest shall be served thereby.
