Utah judges sided with an American Fork Target when the Utah Department of Transportation tried to overturn an earlier court’s ruling to pay the big box store over $2 million for damages caused by a “massive” highway interchange.
The Utah Court of Appeals found the Interstate 15 interchange near Main Street — built on a small parcel of land belonging to Target and developing company Weingarten Miller American Fork LLC — blocked motorists’ view of the store, as well as limited shopper’s options to exit the parking lot. Those losses amounted to more than $2.3 million in severance damages, according to a court decision filed Thursday.
