Parsons Selected as Lead Engineer to Add Express Toll Lanes to State Route 400 in Georgia
August 27 2024 - 5:30AM
Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) announced today that the Georgia
Department of Transportation (GDOT) and the Georgia State Road and
Tollway Authority (SRTA) have selected a team that includes the
company as lead engineer for the State Route 400 (SR 400) Express
Lanes Major Mobility Investment Program (MMIP) Project. The project
is led by a Public Private Partnership (P3) awarded to SR 400 Peach
Partners consisting of Acciona Concesiones, ACS Infrastructure, and
Meridiam as the lead operations, maintenance, and toll operations
providers. Dragados and Acconia Construction will serve as the lead
construction contractors, and Indra USA will serve as the toll
systems integration contractor. Parsons will serve as the lead
engineer for the construction contractors.
This $4.6B project will add new express lanes in both directions
along an approximately 16-mile section of SR 400 from the North
Springs MARTA Station in Fulton County to approximately 1 mile
north of McFarland Parkway in Forsyth County. The team will utilize
electronic tolled express lanes with a 50-year concessions period,
state-of-the-art traffic and incident management systems, and a
digital twin asset management system. Further growth is forecasted
for the corridor, with 144,000 more residents and 114,000 more jobs
projected by 2050. Dynamic toll systems will improve traffic flow,
reduce congestion and polluting emissions. The project will install
Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything roadside technologies that will
allow for Connected and Automated Vehicle supervision and
orchestration.
“Parsons is proud to be a member of SR 400 Peach Partners, the
team selected to partner with GDOT and SRTA on a significant
roadway transportation project that will improve mobility and
reduce congestion in the northern Atlanta metro area,” said Mark
Fialkowski, president of Infrastructure North America for
Parsons. “As leaders in design-build, our experts are helping
deliver a better world through innovation in design and project
delivery.”
The project also includes a $100M state bond investment for
major components of MARTA’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line, which
will utilize the Express Lanes. The BRT line will begin at the
North Springs MARTA Station and extend northward to the Windward
Parkway MARTA Park and Ride, providing a seamless connection to
MARTA’s Red Line train.
