Parsons Corp (NYSE:PSN) shares rose Monday after the company was selected to lead the design of the $409 million Roosevelt Bridge Replacement Project in Oklahoma.
• Parsons shares are advancing steadily. Why are PSN shares climbing?
Parsons said it will serve as the lead designer on the project over Lake Texoma.
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation selected the Zachry Construction/Traylor Brothers Construction joint venture to deliver the project. The project involves the construction of a two-mile-long bridge structure.
Project Scope
The project team will build the bridge in two phases to maintain traffic flow and will use a 63-span design, with substructure elements extending about 150 feet below the lake surface.
Originally built in 1945, the Roosevelt Bridge is a key regional connector. The replacement project secured a $124 million federal grant in 2024, alongside state funding, to support long-term safety and reliability.
“Parsons has a legendary legacy in bridge design, and this project is another example of how our teams continue to deliver the most complex and consequential infrastructure solutions around the world,” said Mark Fialkowski, president of Infrastructure North America for Parsons.
