Earlier this year, Hong Chunqin, 75, and her husband Kung, who live in the two dilapidated buildings with their two sons, had initially agreed to sell the property in Taizhou, in Zhejiang province and accepted £8,000 in compensation.
But then she changed her mind and refunded the money once work on the road had started.
Typical fucking women.

Fair play. She could prob ask Market value and 100k and they would pay. I'd be out with my paintbrush painting a zebra crossing from my door to safety

Check the one where they demolished the staircases, that's harsh 
I'd have been building that motorway with more of a roundabout type of thing so they can drive round it properly when its open. Looks a bit thin to pass alongside at the moment.

Good idea Ian just i don't think roundabouts are that common outside of the uk, they will just end up in one mass pileup

Not quite on the same level but this farm is bang in the middle of the M62: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bradford/content/articles/2006/11/02/m62_farm_feature.shtml

The M62 farm story is apparently down to the ground conditions and not the fact that the guy wouldn't move. He objected to it, but they didn't need to buy his house, the ground isn't good enough to build a motorway over it.
