Government demolishing part of a musjid built on government property

Q: If someone builds a masjid on the property that is owned by the government, then is it permissible for the government to demolish some part of it for the extension of a road?

A: If it is government property then they are making adjustments to their own property.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
