The consortium that constructed the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge across the Hudson River in New York has filed a new lawsuit seeking hundreds of millions of dollars it says it is owed for the project. In the suit, filed Feb. 8 in the New York State Court of Claims, the team says it is owed more than $923 million in unapproved and disputed changes and delays by the New York State Thruway Authority, and another $30.1 million for changes that were approved.
The outcome could determine the way future contractors weigh their risks in doing design-build in New York State.
