There is authority holding that Georgia law does not recognize the partial abandonment of express easements. See Sorrow v. 380 Properties , 354 Ga. App. 118, 121 (1), 840 S.E.2d 470 (2020) ; Plantation Pipe Line Co. v. Milford , 257 Ga. App. 709, 713 (2) (b), 572 S.E.2d 67 (2002). Neither the trial court nor the parties have addressed that authority, and in considering this argument we assume without deciding that it would be possible under OCGA § 44-9-6 for a county to abandon a portion of an expressly dedicated easement for public use of a road.
