The Indiana Department of Transportation took control of the I-69 section between Bloomington and Martinsville in August from a developer picked in 2014 to design and build the 21-mile stretch.
Highway agency deputy commissioner Travis Underhill told The Herald-Times of Bloomington that contractors are working throughout the section with the aim of meeting the August 2018 completion target.
Progress on the section stalled as some unpaid subcontractors stopped work amid financial troubles for I-69 Development Partners and contractor Isolux Corsan. Construction started in 2014 with an original October 2016 completion deadline.
