Opinion

Ctttteb, J.

In 1959 the Commonwealth, for the construction of Route 495, took a small triangular parcel of LaCroix’s land, partly in Westford and partly in Littleton. See the accompanying plan, on which the parcel is indicated in solid black within the limits of Route 495. Prior to the taking, all of LaCroix’s land (shaded on the plan) had access to Howard Road, which then ran north from a point on King Street (at or near its junction with Littleton Road) about 1,250 feet to the nearest point of LaCroix’s land. Howard Road then continued and still runs north through LaCroix’s land for what from a map appears to be nearly a mile. There, after a right angle turn, it runs to the east a similar distance to Concord Road (Route 225). Prom its junction with Howard Road, Concord Road runs southeast to Littleton Road.
