BERRY, Vice Chief Justice.
The primary issue involves a jury award of compensation as damages for property taken under eminent domain proceedings. A strip of land along a service (frontage) road adjacent to an existing highway was taken. Although defendants’ access to the service road was not diminished, convenient means of ingress and egress from the service road were eliminated. Although means of ingress and egress from the service road to the highway were provided at other locations, the changes resulted in detriment to the market value of defendants’ property.
