Decided August 27, 2004.

Justice BRISTER delivered the opinion of the Court.

In this condemnation action, we again address whether severance damages are recoverable when property is taken as a part of a project to raise a roadway above the natural grade. The question is a recurring one,1 as the growth of controlled-access highways necessarily requires that, at intersections with other major arteries, one road or the other must change grades.
