Neighbor not cooperative on allowing access for property that isn't his

[Bob Plano]

So weird situation here. There is a county access way that backs right up to my property. It's a future roadway that is owned by the county. It runs adjacent to a neighbor so I thought I would run it by him that I will be needing it to add fill to my property. 

His response was surprising and he said "not interested. I don't want a lot of traffic here". Meanwhile, he has been using this access for his own lot improvements.

I decided to call the county and ask for their permission since it's not really my neighbors land. To my surprise, the county said I could use this access way to bring fill to my property. I already have a permit open for a pool being built, so that was enough for the county to grant me permission.

My question is this: what if my neighbor is difficult again about not allowing me to use that access or block access? He currently has 5 yards of mulch blocking the county pathway. I hope this doesn't escalate if he doesn't work with me here, but if it does, do I get the county involved if he doesn't back down? 

Curious your thoughts and thank you in advance

You talked to the county, go ahead. If the neighbour has a problem tell him it is not his property and you have permission from the county to access it.  My guess is he's used it for himself and doesn't want others to do the same.
