Parsons Corporation announced on November 19, 2024, that the Kicking Horse Canyon Phase 4 (KHCP4) project in British Columbia, Canada, was awarded the prestigious 2024 Global Best Project Award in the Road/Highway category by Engineering News-Record (ENR). Parsons was a joint venture partner and served as lead design engineer for the $600 million major highway improvement project. The project was delivered in partnership with the Transportation Investment Corporation and the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.
KHCP4 is a Design-Build initiative that included the design and construction of improvements to 4.8 km of the existing Trans-Canada Highway 1. The goal was to provide a four-lane divided standard with a 100 km/h design speed and geohazard mitigation. The project’s design incorporated state-of-the-art technologies and used innovative methods such as accelerated bridge construction and viaducts to navigate difficult conditions, ensuring minimal disruption and efficient progress.
The project, which opened in November 2023, is celebrated for its extraordinary efforts to upgrade and stabilize a vital highway segment that runs through steep terrain prone to rockfall, avalanches, and debris flows. This recognition underscores Parsons' ability to enhance safety, reliability, and resilience on critical transportation corridors, contributing to the long-term prosperity of the region.
