Because NJDOT refused to pay $70,000 in a billion dollar Direct Connect Project to redraw the plans to use a different fill soil after the contractor flagged the planed sand fill as inadequate, NJDOT faces a $92m repair bill. Federal taxpayers are providing $74m to repair the NJDOT $70k savings. And the repair won't be done until 2028.

I found just words, no maps, on NJDOT's website about the project. I-295 is supposed to have a new "mainline direct connect" bridge over 76+42, but I can't determine where that bridge would be. Most DOT's recognize that a picture (or color-coded map) is worth 1000 words. But not NJDOT.
Construction began in winter of 2013. [CourierPostOnline]
After I wrote the above, I came across this 38:00 video.
