Parsons Selected to Design the Future Newark Bay Bridge, Advancing Transportation throughout New Jersey
15 Avril 2024 - 12:30PM
Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) announced today that the New Jersey
Turnpike Authority selected the company to serve as final designer
for the replacement of the Vincent Robert Casciano Bridge, known as
the Newark Bay Bridge. The final design is the first final design
contract of the Newark Bay-Hudson County Extension Improvements
Program, a critical modernization and safety program that will
rebuild the 8.1-mile NJ Turnpike Extension from Interchange 14 in
Newark to Jersey Avenue in Jersey City. This replacement is the
Turnpike Authority’s highest priority, given the condition of the
nearly 70-year-old structure, which is at the end of its life.
Parsons is leading the design effort from our Newark, NJ office.
The replacement of the Newark Bay Bridge represents a
significant portion of the Program’s first project, which will
reconstruct the Extension between Interchange 14 in Newark and
Interchange 14A in Bayonne and Jersey City. To mitigate impacts on
drivers, the surrounding communities, and the environment, there
will be a phased strategy to replace the Newark Bay Bridge that
will not increase traffic congestion. A new cable-stayed bridge
will be built alongside the existing Newark Bay Bridge, during
which time the existing bridge will remain operational. Once the
new bridge is completed, the existing bridge will be demolished,
and another new cable-stayed bridge will be built in its place. The
two new cable-stayed bridges will increase safety and capacity by
providing four lanes of traffic in both the eastbound and westbound
directions. New structures will feature long in-water approaches
and parallel 800 ft. long cable-stayed bridges. Adjacent to Newark
Liberty International Airport, the towers will be height-limited,
like the recently completed Goethals Bridge Replacement Project,
several miles south of the Newark Bay Bridge, for which Parsons
also served as lead designer. The new crossing will feature a
150-year service life, aesthetic lighting, and state-of-the-art
infrastructure technologies.
“Parsons has led bridge design on projects throughout New Jersey
for decades and has delivered many of the region’s largest
infrastructure projects, including the new Newark Liberty
International Airport Terminal A,” said Mark Fialkowski, president,
Infrastructure North America for Parsons. “As a leader in complex
bridge design and delivery, we are excited to partner with the New
Jersey Turnpike Authority to assure driver and community safety,
provide a more efficient and resilient transportation network and
deliver infrastructure that will serve the community's needs for
years to come.”

protecting the infrastructure that connects our communities around
the world, including roads and highways; bridges; passenger and
