Through Bridging North America consortium, AECOM to design
longest cable-stayed bridge in North America
AECOM (NYSE: ACM), a premier, fully integrated global
infrastructure firm, announced today that it has been selected, as
part of the Bridging North America consortium, to design the Gordie
Howe International Bridge by the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority
(WDBA). The project is being funded through a public-private
partnership and will connect Windsor, Ontario to Detroit, Michigan.
The value of AECOM’s initial phase of the contract will be included
in the Company’s backlog for the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2018.
“We are honored to have been selected as the designer for this
iconic piece of infrastructure, and for the trust WDBA has placed
in AECOM and our Bridging North America partners,” said Michael S.
Burke, AECOM’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Bridges
connect, and not only will this project provide a major gateway
between Canada and the United States, it will support economic
growth through job creation, tourism and trade. AECOM’s diverse
capabilities and design expertise are a good fit in delivering the
world’s most technically complex and transformative infrastructure
projects, and our selection by the WDBA underscores the strengths
of the company we have built.”
AECOM will be responsible for designing the six-lane, 2.5
kilometer-long cable-stay bridge with North America’s longest
853-metre main span. The firm will also design a Canadian and a
United States (U.S.) port of entry, and the Michigan Interchange,
which includes road improvements and connecting ramps to the U.S.
port of entry and I-75.
“AECOM has delivered some of the most complex, innovative and
challenging bridge structures around the world, but this project is
about so much more than the infrastructure,” said Steve Morriss,
president of AECOM’s Design Consulting Services group in the
Americas. “AECOM’s vast, global network of architects, planners,
engineers, safety specialists, roadway experts, landscapers,
interior designers, and dozens of other technical practices will
collaborate across borders to bring this symbolic project to
life--connecting and serving the local communities, regions and the
world.”
Bridging North America’s prime team members include AECOM and
several other companies which bring significant experience carrying
out major infrastructure projects in both Canada and the U.S.
