Recognizing the corporation\u2019s work on the Hastings Bridge, this award honors the best examples of structural ingenuity throughout the world. Projects are judged on innovative design, engineering achievement, and creativity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is gratifying to be recognized by the NCSEA for the innovation we bring to our customers,\u201d said Michael Johnson, Parsons Group President. \u201cThe Hastings Bridge is a prime example of our steadfast commitment to sustainability and leading-edge engineering and design.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parsons was the lead designer to the Hastings Bridge design-build joint venture and also provided engineering management and bridge erection engineering services.<\/p>\n<p>The new Hastings Bridge in the scenic recreation area of Hastings, MN, is a 1,938-ft-long, freestanding tied-arch bridge. It carries Trunk Highway 61 over the Mississippi River and is the longest freestanding arch bridge in North America. With a 100-year service life, the bridge features a steel box arch rib with a post-tensioned concrete tie girder and a network hanger system, plus a load-path-redundant steel-grid floor system to meet rigorous redundancy requirements. Representing one of the heaviest bridge moves in the United States, the 3,300-ton, 545-ft-long main span was erected on land, transferred onto barges using self-propelled modular transporters, guided downriver by tugboats, slid into position using a hydraulic skid system, and lifted 55 ft into place with strand jacks.<\/p>\n<p>Parsons\u2019 work on the Hastings Bridge has been recognized with numerous awards, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2016 Prize Bridge Award in the major span category \u2013 National Steel Bridge Alliance<\/li>\n<li>2014 Midwest Best Project of the Year award in the highways\/bridges category \u2013 Engineering News-Record<\/li>\n<li>2015 Best Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) award in the self-propelled modular transporter category \u2013 Accelerated Bridge
