Parsons' West County Connectors project in Orange County and Long Beach, California received the Transportation Project of the Year award from the California Transportation Foundation. The $450 million project involved constructing two direct carpool connectors between State Route 22, Interstate 405, and Interstate 605, as well as adding a second carpool lane in each direction on I-405. Parsons was responsible for planning and engineering documents and provided construction support for the east segment of the project. Todd Wager, Parsons Group President, said the project has reduced traffic congestion and increased safety on three major freeways in the area.
