P 9. Landowners concede that they base their business losses on the change in the flow of traffic from the construction of the median strip. Like the property owners in Sand Bar and Spear, they contend that because the median strip was part of the same project that resulted in the taking of portions of their land, they are entitled to compensation for the effects of the highway project as a whole. They rely on several out-of-state cases, including a closely analogous case from South Carolina, to argue that when a project results in a taking, the owner of the land that has been taken is entitled to compensation for all incidental effects of the project on the value of the remaining land.
