Rhode Island Temporary Construction Easements can vary based on the specific project and unique requirements. However, some common types include: 1.

Easement for Bridge or Overpass Construction: When constructing or expanding bridges, overpasses, or other transportation infrastructure, the DOT may need temporary access to adjacent land to facilitate construction, such as excavating, establishing staging areas, or installing support structures. 3. Easement for Utility Relocation: If utility lines, such as electric, gas, or water, need to be relocated or adjusted to accommodate road improvements, a temporary easement may be necessary to grant access to the private property where the utilities are located. 4. Easement for Intersection Improvements: Intersection improvements, such as adding turning lanes or installing traffic signals, may require temporary access to adjacent property to perform construction activities, including grading, excavation, or drainage installations. The Rhode Island Temporary Construction Easement and Agreement for Highway Purposes outlines the rights and responsibilities of both the property owner and the DOT. It typically includes provisions for compensation, the duration and extent of the easement, permitted activities, restoration of the property following construction, and liability and insurance requirements.
