The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission is preparing to make a series of appointments to boost management of its US$624 million capital improvement programme in view of the growing workload. The commission has created a new management group to oversee the scheme and will be seeking an engineering firm to serve as capital programme management consultant. The commission's overall programme management consultant DMJM+Harris will carry out the new role until a permanent appointment is made in line with procurement guidelines. DRJTBC is responsible for a series of major bridges along a 224km stretch of the Delaware River and has planned a 10 year programme of upgrades.
