The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) has reached an agreement with Kiewit Corp. and will pay the contractor $297.8 million for project change orders on the Interstate 405-Sepulveda Pass Widening Project, in Los Angeles.
The settlement, which raises the final cost of the project to $1.6 billion, ends a years-long dispute over responsibility for cost increases caused by redesigns and numerous unknown utilities encountered along the 10-mile-long project, which completed in 2015.
