CENTREVILLE, Va., Aug. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- After a competitive selection process, Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) announced today that the company was selected by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) to complete a Planning and Environment Linkages (PEL) study for the potential reconfiguration of the Interstate 787 (I-787) corridor in the greater Albany area.

With nearly 80 years of experience delivering smarter infrastructure for New York, Parsons has provided aviation, rail and transit, road and highway, bridge and tunnel, and environmental expertise to the region for decades. In addition to the PEL study for I-787, Parsons is currently engaged as lead designer on NYSDOT’s Hunts Point Interstate Access Improvement Project; operates an innovative water treatability laboratory in Syracuse; and recently announced that the company will serve as lead designer on the
