BLOOMINGTON – A Bloomington-based construction company is now on the hook for nearly $2.9 million after a lawsuit in Champaign County.
On Friday, a jury ruled in favor of the city of Urbana over a dispute over constructing a section of Windsor Road.
In 2014, Stark Construction won a bid to repair and replace a section of Windsor between Race Street and Philo road.
However, the News-Gazette in Champaign reports the road began to show cracks just a year after Stark repaired the road.
Urbana filed a lawsuit against Stark Construction, who disputed the claims, alleging the road design was the reason for the flaw.
However, after an eight-hour deliberation on Friday, a jury of eight women and four men ruled in favor of the city of Urbana.
Details on whether Stark Construction plans to appeal are unclear.
