Sort of a side note, but I would check to see how the property owners on the route are notified. I have a pipeline that crosses my property and I refused access to a contractor until I was notified in writing by the pipeline company. I am very protective of my land and who I allow access. The contractor, who was very much small time operator, tried to tell me "All you have to do is call the pipeline company". My response was " I don't have to call anyone except the sheriff. " The whole situation was handled poorly. Just giving you a heads up of a problem that could delay you.

Just be careful of what you are doing when delaying operations on a legal right of way. I worked power line clearing years ago. And if you knew how many landowners were placed in the back seat of squad cars while we worked it would blow your mind. Once I identified myself, any interference or preventing entry to perform work could result in your being charged with a felony.
