The recently cleared Kinder Morgan right of way across Bedford Road near Oak Knolll Road (click image to enlarge).
The gas company Kinder Morgan recently cleared brush over a gas pipeline crossing Bedford Road and other locations in Lincoln. The company’s right of way is 30 to 50 feet wide in Lincoln, a company spokesman said.
“Periodically clearing the rights of way is part of our safety protocol to ensure the right of way can be visually inspected both by air and on the ground. The frequency of clearing depends on tree and brush growth in the area. In cases where a right of way crosses private property, the property owner is notified in advance.” The railroad ties in the photo were used to support heavy equipment on the soft ground and will be removed, the spokesman said.
