Best Answer

There is no universal distance. In many situations older dwellings and other buildings have been left standing quite close to modern roads in both new road constructions and old road alterations. Generally, modern highway constructions cannot be planned so as to go around existing buildings. The answer depends on the laws in your state and case law.

You need the advice of an attorney who specializes in real estate law with an understanding of eminent domain takings. If the road is so close that it has destroyed the value of your home you may be able to bring a suit for enough damages so you can rebuild in another location. Your case must be evaluated by a professional.
