Design-Builders, Private Partners To Build Ohio River Crossings

摘要

Walsh Group, Chicago, appears to be the big winner-leading one design-build team and part of a public-private partnership (P3)-in bids for two new, 2,500-ft-long cable-stayed bridges across the Ohio River in Kentucky and Indiana. Along with France's Vinci Concessions and Bilfinger Berger PI International Holding GmbH, Walsh Investors leads a P3 team that the Indiana Finance Authority named last month as the preferred pro-poser for the East End Crossing. The bridge, designed by Parsons Brinckerhoff, is one of the components of the estimated $2.6-billion Ohio River Bridges program.
