Parsons selected for America’s River Crossing project

Parsons (PSN) announced that the Tennessee Department of Transportation 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.
