Discontinued State Highways

A highway may be reclassified as a Class V or VI highway under RSA 230:55-62. In short, the portion of a Class I or II highway discontinued by the state becomes a Class V or VI highway unless the municipality notifies the state within sixty days that there is no “occasion for the use of such portion for town highway purposes.” Abutters receive the same type of notice as is required for laying out highways.
