Whenever a township or district road is ordered to be laid out, widened or altered, according to the provisions of this Division of this Code, which road shall pass through or on enclosed land, the highway commissioner shall give the owner or occupant of such land 60 days' notice in writing to remove the fences. If such owner or occupant does not remove the fence or fences within 60 days after such notice, the commissioner shall have the same removed, and direct the road to be opened and worked; the owner of such premises shall pay all necessary costs of removal, and the same may be recovered by the highway commissioner in any court of competent jurisdiction, provided however that in case the owner or occupant has been awarded damages either by agreement, or by judgment in condemnation proceedings, for the removal of such fence or fences, then the owner or occupant shall remove such fences without such notice, and the highway commissioner may enter upon such premises at once for the purpose of laying out, widening or altering such road.
