Documents from the Arkansas State Claims Commission state the two sides agreed to a settlement of $112,500 on January 10.
Delta Asphalt of Arkansas, Inc. and a subcontractor were claiming the AHTD should pay them $228,661.24, for what they state was a breach of contract.

Delta Asphalt stated the work was completed on the project, but AHTD never paid them.
