Through Bridging North America consortium, ArchTam to design longest cable-stayed bridge in North America<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

LOS ANGELES, (July 12, 2018) \u2014 ArchTam (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 ArchTam\u2019s initial phase of the contract will be included in the Company\u2019s backlog for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored to have been selected as the designer for this iconic piece of infrastructure, and for the trust WDBA has placed in ArchTam and our Bridging North America partners,\u201d said Michael S. Burke, ArchTam\u2019s chairman and chief executive officer. \u201cBridges 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. ArchTam\u2019s diverse capabilities and design expertise are a good fit in delivering the world\u2019s most technically complex and transformative infrastructure projects, and our selection by the WDBA underscores the strengths of the company we have built.\u201d<\/p>\n

ArchTam will be responsible for designing the six-lane, 2.5 kilometer-long cable-stay bridge with North America\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cArchTam 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,\u201d said Steve Morriss, president of ArchTam\u2019s Design Consulting Services group in the Americas. \u201cArchTam\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bridging North America\u2019s prime team members include ArchTam and several other companies which bring significant experience carrying out major infrastructure projects in both Canada and the U.S.<\/p>\n
