Parsons Corporation announced on November 13, 2024, that the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) selected the company to serve as lead designer for the proposed America’s River Crossing project. This pivotal infrastructure project aims to enhance transportation connectivity and economic growth in the Memphis region. The contract win marks a significant milestone for Parsons, reinforcing its leadership in long-span bridge design.
The proposed project will replace the existing 75-year-old I-55 bridge, which is projected to support approximately 64,000 vehicles daily by 2050, moving residents, workers, and freight between Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi. Parsons is responsible for delivering a design that addresses route resiliency, improves safety, and maintains a state of good repair. This project will improve mobility and address traffic flow and operations for local and regional motorists.
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 company's extensive experience and commitment to innovative engineering solutions position it as a go-to firm for critical infrastructure delivery. Parsons has decades of experience designing and delivering infrastructure, including over 4,500 bridges globally.
