PASADENA, CA (December 20, 2016)<\/strong> \u2013 Parsons is pleased to announce that the Ohio River Bridges East End Crossing\u2014now named the Lewis and Clark Bridge\u2014opened to traffic on Sunday, December 18 to connect SR 265 in Indiana with the Gene Snyder Freeway in Kentucky. The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the 2,500\u2011ft\u2011long cable-stayed bridge was held the same day and marked the substantial completion of the $2.3 billion Louisville Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges project, which included the Downtown Crossing\u2014now named the Abraham Lincoln Bridge.<\/p>\n

Parsons was the lead partner in the Community Transportation Solutions joint venture (JV). The JV served as the overall project\u2019s general engineering consultant and was responsible for contract scope and budget development, design review, and coordination of the six section design consultants. In addition, Parsons was the technical advisor for the implementation of the East End Crossing\u2019s award-winning public-private partnership (P3), which consisted of the development, design, construction, financing, operation, and maintenance of the bridge and approaches in each state. Parsons also served as the project\u2019s toll system advisor.<\/p>\n

\u201cParsons is proud to have served the Indiana Department of Transportation and the Indiana Finance Authority in bringing this important regional project to completion,\u201d said Michael Johnson, Parsons Group President. \u201cTogether, we have set a new standard of efficiency, bistate collaboration, and cost-saving solutions for infrastructure projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indiana Governor-Elect Eric Holcomb commented that Indiana\u2019s innovative P3 helped take the East End Crossing from wish to reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter decades of discussion and stalled progress, many people thought we\u2019d never see this moment,\u201d Holcomb said. \u201cNow, communities on both sides of the Ohio River will reap the benefit of improved, safe interstate access.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Louisville-Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges project is a long-planned, joint collaboration between the State of Indiana and the Commonwealth of Kentucky to improve cross-river mobility in the Louisville metropolitan area, improve safety, alleviate traffic congestion, and connect highways, all while stimulating the economy of the entire Louisville-Southern Indiana region.<\/p>\n

In addition to the new cable-stayed bridge, the Lewis and Clark Bridge project features a shared use pedestrian and bicycle path, 8 mi of new terrain highway, and twin 1,700\u2011ft twin\u2011bore tunnels under a historic property. The project recently received an\u00a0Envision\u00ae Platinum Sustainability Award<\/a>\u00a0from the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure for the project\u2019s exceptional achievements in sustainable infrastructure design, construction, and operations. The Lewis and Clark Bridge is approximately half of the Louisville-Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges project\u2014the largest bistate transportation project ever undertaken by the two states.<\/p>\n

All-electronic tolling will begin on December 30 on the Lewis and Clark Bridge, the Abraham Lincoln Bridge, and the improved I\u201165 Kennedy Bridge. A RiverLink<\/a> E\u2011ZPass local transponder will ensure the lowest toll rates.<\/p>\n
