KRS 178.110: Condemnation of right-of-way -- Temporary roads.

(1) If the court decides to establish or alter a county road, bridge or landing, and the

compensation to be paid for the right -of-way cannot be fixed by agreement, the

right-of-way shall be condemned under the procedure set forth in the Eminent

Domain Act of Kentucky.

(2) In case of roadbeds or bridges, or a portion of them, washing or slipping away, or in

case of extreme emergency, and when in its judgment conditions warrant it, the

fiscal court may immediately open and have surveyed a road or passway to be

temporarily used while the commissioners appointed under the Eminent Domain

Act of Kentucky are acting, or while the matter is pending in the court to establish a

permanent road or passway, and the commissioners shall assess the damages of the

temporary road or use thereof. The same proceedings shall be had to recover

damages as in recovery in regard to other roads.

(3) But when such compensation is ascertained it shall be at the option of the fiscal

court to pay it or to abandon the proposed undertaking. If it decides to pay the

compensation, the fiscal court of the county shall include in its next levy an amount

sufficient therefor.

(4) Not more than two (2) acres shall be condemned for a landing.
