Sec. 1. The county executive may temporarily close or relocate a road or a portion of a road that is part of that county's road system for a period not exceeding five (5) years. If the road is located on a county line or if parts of the road are located in more than one (1) county, the road may only be closed under this section by the joint action of the executives of all the counties. The order to temporarily close or relocate may be extended in increments of not more than two (2) years. If a road has been closed or relocated for three (3) or more years under this section, a person who filed the petition under section 2 of this chapter to temporarily close or relocate a road may file a second petition in accordance with this chapter to permanently close or relocate that same road.
