I also live at the end of a private road.
For the last 30 years I've maintained it by myself at my cost with the exception of when one neighbor wanted to sell his property.
At that time he asked for me to split the cost of grading & new gravel.
At that time I learned he nor the other owner had ever signed the "private road agreement" that I had to sign when I bought.
I "CAN" do anything I want in the way of "maintenance" along the 60' of ROW without asking ANYONE.
I don't.
But I am the one that plows the snow every winter, (I do their driveways too) and grade & fill potholes AT MY EXPENSE.
And I don't ask.
Lately the one neighbor has been helping. I appreciate it & tell him so.
As has been said, be thankful he doesn't send you a bill.
