1Opinion of the Court
NORRIS, Judge.
Louisiana Power and Light (“LP & L”) appeals a judgment denying its reconventional demand for injunctive relief and declaring that its powerline servitude on the Broom-fields’ property was lost by 10 years of non-use. For the reasons expressed, we affirm.
Factual background
The property in question sits on the east side of U.S. Highway 167 near Dodson in Winn Parish. The highway right-of-way extends 50’ each way from the centerline of the road. The record does not say when it was built, but a barbed wire fence now stands on the east boundary of the highway right-of-way.
