Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Easements
Landowners filed a complaint seeking an easement across a vacated bridge, after highway commissioner closed a township bridge which crossed over the drainage district’s property. Landowners failed to establish that vacated bridge is essential to the beneficial enjoyment of their land, and thus they do not have an implied easement across it. The gravel road access is a reasonable means of ingress and egress for landowners to reach their home. (KNECHT and HARRIS, concurring.)
