Parsons involved in another Florida bridge project

Parsons recently announced it is part of a team which was awarded a three-year, $47 million design-build contract for the Ernest Lyons Bridge in Stuart, Fla. Parsons, as a subcontractor to PCL Civil Constructors, will provide design and construction support services for the replacement of the Ernest Lyons Bridge.

The project includes a 4,600-ft precast segmental bridge over the Intercoastal Waterway; bridges to two recreational islands; and reconstruction of approaches at each end of the main bridge.

"Our work on the Ernest Lyons Bridge will allow Parsons to continue its long-standing successful partnership with the Florida DOT and PCL Civil Constructors, built through collaboration on the Roosevelt and Evans Crary Bridges," explained R. Craig Finley Jr., Parsons senior vice president.

This major win augments Parsons' participation in Florida Department of Transportation's Stuart, Fla., area bridges. Parsons also designed the Evans Crary Sr. Bridge and provided construction engineering on the Roosevelt Bridge, the other two major bridges in the area.
