One of Florida’s most troubled construction projects is now in court, with one partner in a design-build joint venture pitted against another.
Lane Construction Corp. has filed a lawsuit seeking $132 million in damages for what it claims is Skanska USA Civil Southeast’s “gross negligence” in leading joint-venture construction of the much-delayed I-4 Ultimate project in Orlando. The project team now faces a “loss of significant magnitude,” according to the complaint, filed in U.S. district court in Orlando.
