I-69 Pay Dispute Resolved, Subcontractors Receive Payment

The Indiana Finance Authority says a pay dispute related to I-69 Section 5 has been resolved, and subcontractors working on the section have been paid in full.

Workers walked off the job last month because they weren't receiving payments from Isolux Corsan, the main contractor in charge of Section 5 construction.

A letter from the Indiana Finance Authority  said last month subcontractors were owed a total of $9 million.

A spokesperson for the IFA says that I-69 Development Partners accessed a line of credit from Isolux Corsan to pay subcontractors.

Among the subcontractors seeking payment was Bloomington-based Crider and Crider. At the time the IFA sent the letter, they were owed more than $2 million.

Section 5 of the interstate — the stretch from Bloomington to Martinsville — was originally supposed to be finished this month.

This recent issue, on top of a previous delay, means the section won't be finished until October 2017, at least one year behind schedule.
