Capital Improvement Program Overview
The Commission's $56 million capital plan for 2013 outlines a wide variety of rehabilitation, improvement and project planning initiatives. The plan lays out a financial blueprint for capital initiatives during the year, including projects like the Easton-Phillipsburg (Route 22) Toll Bridge Rehabilitation, the Lumberville-Raven Rock Toll-Supported Pedestrian Bridge Rehabilitation, an important maintenance garage expansion at the Delaware Water Gap (I-80) Toll Bridge, and repaving and improvement of the approach bridges and roadways serving the New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202) Toll Bridge. This year marks the third-consecutive year in which the capital plan has been reduced from the prior year's total. Still, it allows the Commission to meet its goals for advancing the agency's rolling Capital Improvement Program. The capital plan is expected to further stimulate the regional economy, provide new job opportunities, enhance safety, reduce congestion, and improve the agency's customer-service capabilities.
