We also have a MVC5 project as well.
Deleting the .dll from the bin folder and compiling again fixes it. Rebuilding brings the DLL back and have to delete it.
Something is injecting the system.web.helpers.dll into the bin folder and I dont know what is causing it, but I suspect it may be related to the MVC project which does have a reference to System.Web.Helpers
Update:
This is the new error I got after redoing the reference:

You're right about it being referred from MVC. System.Web.Helpers is normally a part of the package Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages which you can find on NuGet. In some runtime environments, it is installed stored in the GAC and therefore publicly available.
From the NuGet Console, run
Update-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages Make sure you have a redirect in web.config:
<dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Helpers" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-3.0.0.0" newVersion="3.0.0.0" /> </dependentAssembly> Answers 2
Add the reference of System.Web.Helpers.dll file to your project, and add below setting in web.config file <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Helpers" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-3.0.0.0" newVersion="3.0.0.0" /> </dependentAssembly>
