Removing the barrier (assuming it was a complete barrier and no one used any part of the shortcut roadway from either end from it's connections with the public road system) probably--repeat, probably--lost any ability to show the road was unused and unnecessary. Putting the sewer down the road gave the County or City an interest in keeping it open. It's highly unlikely anyone can maintain a barrier if the City doesn't want one. A possibility is a vacation of the road ( vacating a road means terminating any public and private right to travel over it) with the exception of an easement for the sewer line, but expect the City to prefer the road as is, now that their sewer line is in it. You need to discuss your situation with everyone who's land underlies the road area (County roads are usually just road easements; an easement is the right to use someones land for particular purposes, such as roadway or utilities, not the actual ownership of the land underlying the road area; Counties/Cities usually have blanket agreements with utility companies, granting the right to run utilities along all county roads/city streets). If all owners agree to vacation, then you need to talk to a local real estate or land use atty for advice. It can be quite complicated, and it's not the sort of thing that can be covered in one of these posts. Good luck.
