The Illinois Tollway will pay nearly $31.5 million to New York-based Judlau Contracting and its trade contractors to resolve a lawsuit filed after the tollway, in April, terminated a $324-million contract with Judlau to rebuild the southbound lanes of the Interstate 290 and Interstate 88 interchange near Oak Brook, Ill.
The settlement allows the tollway to move forward on the project with Illinois-based Walsh Construction, which had been the next lowest bidder, as ENR reported previously.
