A 15-year-old change order legal battle between the Massachusetts Dept. of Transportation and a key construction joint venture on Boston's $14-billion Big Dig project is finally ending, with the state agreeing to a final $88.7-million settlement.
In what some observers say was a landmark case in New England, state officials last month agreed to pay the remainder of funds owed to the PKC construction team—led by contractor Tutor Perini and including Kiewit Corp. and Jay Cashman Inc.—and not to challenge a June state Superior Court ruling that had sided with the companies.
