Parsons has been designated by the Government of Saskatchewan as the preferred proponent for a public-private partnership (P3) contract for the bypass highway of the City of Regina (subject to finalizing the project agreement).

The Regina Bypass Project involves the design, financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of the 61-km (2x2 lanes) bypass. The construction work, which is projected to take about four years, will be carried out by a joint venture consisting of Carmacks—a wholly owned subsidiary of Eurovia, VINCI Construction Terrassement, Graham and Parsons Canada Ltd. The entire bypass will be operated and maintained by a subsidiary of VINCI for a period of 30 years.
