Re: right of way
If you have an agreement granting you a right of way, it should spell out the responsibility for its maintenance. Usually such agreements require that the party benefiting from the access is responsible for its maintenance. If you both use it and there is no agreement, then that raises other issues.
Please feel free to contact me if you have more questions.
