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.
