So, call the local department of transportation office and ask for the area engineer, explain your problem and ask if there is a method to file a formal complaint against the contractor and the state for damages due to their activities. <br /><br />If this doesn't get you any satisfaction, contact your state rep and explain your problem. Highway officials don't like messing with elected officials, since they can pull funds. <br /><br />If all of this gives you no satisfaction, contact an attorney and sue for damages. The contractor will settle quickly, especially if his retainage is held due to unsettled claims on the project.
