Daily News | Bridge agency faces damages for over-budget I-295 deal with Philly union contractor, court rules
Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission had"no authority" to require bidders to work with Philadelphia and Trenton trade unions.byThe bridge is built, carrying over 50,000 vehicles a day over the Delaware River near Trenton. The cost was tens of millions more than initially planned.
The court sent the case to a lower court to determine how much the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge commission must pay Trumbull bid $396 million — $69 million over the cost estimated by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission, which controls most of the road crossings between Pennsylvania and New Jersey from Trenton north to New York state.
Harms had a deal with a different labor union — Steelworkers Local 15024, with offices in Edison, N.J., which does construction work at sites along the East Coast. The commission went beyond its legal authority in requiring the labor deal that favored some unions over others, the court ruled. The bid, $69 million over the estimated price, did not “benefit the people of the two states,” according to the decision.The previous Scudder Falls Bridge, built in the 1950s, was free to cross. It formerly carried I-95, which has since been rerouted along a new roadway farther south, connecting to the New Jersey Turnpike.
