  "summary": "A Virginia appeals court has rejected a couple’s claim for additional compensation over an I-495 highway expansion, ruling that they could seek damages only for the temporary easement taken from their property, not losses linked to the wider road project. Their expert had estimated that the project could reduce the property’s value by nearly $500,000.",
