Omaha-based HDR is designing the replacement for New York's Tappan Zee bridge — a signature three-mile crossing over the Hudson River that is to be the widest bridge of that length in the world.
The $3.14 billion contract is huge for HDR and its partners. HDR is lead designer and a subcontractor for Tappan Zee Constructors, the winning bid consortium that also includes Fluor Enterprises, American Bridge Co., Granite Construction Northeast and Traylor Bros.
“The Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing is an iconic project, and HDR is very proud to be part of the team,” said HDR Chairman and CEO George A. Little.
New York officials call the long-awaited replacement to be used by nearly 140,000 motorists daily “more than just a bridge across the Hudson.”
