Parsons Corporation was selected to lead the design of the $409 million Roosevelt Bridge Replacement Project over Lake Texoma in Bryan and Marshall Counties, Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation selected the Zachry Construction/Traylor Brothers Construction Joint Venture to deliver the new two-mile-long structure, with Parsons serving as the project?s lead designer. The replacement bridge will span one of the largest reservoirs in the United States, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and will be constructed in two phases to maintain traffic flow throughout the project.

The new 63-span structure includes substructure elements extending approximately 150 feet below the lake surface, reflecting the technical complexity and engineering precision required for a project of this scale. The Roosevelt Bridge, originally built in 1945, is a vital regional connector for residents, freight, and travelers. The replacement project was awarded Oklahoma?s largest federal grant in 2024, totaling $124 million, combined with state funding to ensure the crossing remains safe, resilient, and reliable for decades to come.

With more than 80 years of experience delivering iconic bridges and major transportation infrastructure, Parsons brings deep technical expertise in long-span structures, complex foundations, and resilient design. The Roosevelt Bridge Replacement Project reinforces the company?s commitment to advancing safe, modern, and future-ready infrastructure across the United States. Parsons has delivered more than 4,500 crossings around the world, including landmark projects that carry pedestrians, roads, railways, and pipelines every day.
