An Arkansas couple who paid their neighbours $8,000 for an 18-foot-wide road to access their land near Beaver Lake have lost a dispute over its location. The Arkansas Court of Appeals upheld a route along the neighbours’ property boundary, despite concerns about construction costs and difficult terrain. One judge disagreed, warning that the approved route could be unusable without expensive work.
