Parsons Extends Bridge Franchise with America’s River Crossing Award
13 November 2024 - 10:30PM
Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) announced today that the Tennessee
Department of Transportation (TDOT) has selected the company to
serve as lead designer for the proposed America’s River Crossing
project, a pivotal infrastructure project aimed at enhancing
transportation connectivity and economic growth in the Memphis
region. This contract win marks a significant milestone for
Parsons, further solidifying its position as a leader in long-span
bridge design.
The proposed America’s River Crossing project will
replace the existing 75-year-old I-55 bridge, which, by 2050, is
projected to support approximately 64,000 vehicles carrying
residents, workers, and freight moving between Tennessee, Arkansas,
and Mississippi every day. Parsons is responsible for delivering a
design to address route resiliency, improve safety, and maintain a
state of good repair.
"Our selection for the America’s River Crossing
project is a testament to Parsons' dedication to delivering
high-quality, transformative infrastructure solutions that keep our
communities moving," said Mark Fialkowski, president of
Infrastructure North America for Parsons. "The proposed
project not only reinforces our leadership in bridge design but
also demonstrates our commitment to supporting communities and
fostering economic development through robust transportation
systems."
With this new project, Parsons continues its legacy
of excellence in the bridge sector, now encompassing 24 Mississippi
River crossings, including five currently underway. The proposed
project, still under final contracting, will improve mobility and
address traffic flow and operations for local and regional
motorists and travelers in the tri-state area. Parsons’ extensive
experience and commitment to innovative engineering solutions have
positioned the company as the go-to firm for critical
infrastructure delivery.
Parsons has decades of experience designing,
delivering, and protecting the infrastructure that connects our
communities around the world, including roads and highways;
bridges; passenger and freight rail; public transit; airports; and
ports and waterways. Our experience includes more than 10,000 miles
of roadways, 4,500 bridges, and more than 50 advanced traffic
management system deployments that help cities and states improve
safety and travel efficiency while also reducing emissions and
energy costs to enhance the quality of life in the communities we
serve.
