In case such final order was entered by the highway commissioner as provided in Section 6-311 of this Code finally determining the advisability of such proposed laying out, widening, alteration or vacation of any township or district road, any 3 qualified petitioners who may have signed the petition for such proposed laying out, widening, alteration or vacation, or any 3 legal voters residing within 2 miles of any portion of such road, or any 3 other persons owning land in the road district or owning land within 2 miles of any portion of such road, may (if either they are qualified petitioners or they both have raised objections at the hearing pursuant to Section 6-311 of this Act and will be directly and adversely affected by such proposed laying out, widening, alteration or vacation) appeal to the county superintendent of highways by filing a notice of such appeal in the office of the district clerk within 10 days of the date of filing the decision appealed from. Thereupon such clerk shall at once transmit all papers relating to such proposed laying out, widening, altering or vacation of such road to the county superintendent of highways, who shall within 20 days after the receipt of the same, hold a public hearing within such district to finally determine upon the laying out, widening, altering or vacation of such road. Such hearing shall be upon such notice and conducted in like manner as the hearing before the highway commissioner relative to such final decision and from which appeal has been taken, except that the powers and duties of the county superintendent of highways in conducting such hearing and in determining and filing his final order shall be identical to the powers and duties of such superintendent prescribed by Section 6-311 of this Act. Judicial review may be pursued after such final order of the county superintendent of highways relative to the alteration or vacation of such roads in the manner provided in Section 6-315a of this Division.
