The servitude stands if the management of the road is devolved to a municipality or if the road is closed. However, the servitude is extinguished with the dismantling of the electric power transmission line.

As soon as an order to entrust the management of the road to a municipality is made by the Government under the first paragraph of section 3, the Minister so informs the enterprise or the subsidiary whose electric power transmission line is subject to the servitude. The enterprise or subsidiary must publish the servitude in the land register by means of a notice which must include the terms of the agreement between the enterprise or subsidiary and the Government.

Furthermore, access between two contiguous roads one or both of which are under the management of the Minister is prohibited; access remains prohibited if the management of the road or roads is devolved from the Minister to a municipality or if one of the roads is closed.

The second paragraph does not apply to accesses that exist on 16 December 2005.

1992, c. 54, s. 22; 2005, c. 48, s. 2.
