![]() ![]() Airport staff are working with UTA to extend the Airport TRAX light rail line to end in the Gateway Center. Ě Gateway Center between the terminal building and parking garage will house rental car counters and airline ticket counters.Current plans include keeping and renovating portions of the existing B, C and D concourses which will bring the total number of gates to 73, although needs will be assessed as construction progresses and those areas may be removed and replaced with a second new concourse parallel to and north of the first. SLC has 86 gates now, but 30 of those are for smaller, regional jets and don’t have jetways. One linear concourse connected to the terminal will have 38 gates, all of which will feature jetway bridges and the ability to serve different types and sizes of aircraft. ![]() A split-level roadway system will separate vehicles dropping off travelers from those picking up arriving travelers. The baggage claim area will be conveniently located on the same level as skybridges to the parking garage. ![]() At the core of the terminal will be a soaring interior space called “The Canyon.” Planned with inspiring and interesting design elements and artwork, The Canyon will contain security screening, a large area for meeting and greeting arriving travelers, and plentiful shopping and dining concessions. ![]() A single, three-level terminal will be built to the west of the existing terminal complex and will feature spacious, modern facilities.Construction is being funded by several sources including federal grants, user fees, general airport revenue bonds, and airport reserves. The effort will create some 24,000 jobs and generate $1 billion in wages over the construction period. The first phase that includes the consolidated terminal will open in 2020. The $1.8 billion project will be built in phases and is planned to be complete in 2023. The effort will replace three aging terminals built 30- 50 years ago with one large, modern building with ample capacity for both the region’s local needs and the airport’s role as a major hub. The Salt Lake City International Airport Terminal Redevelopment Program will completely rebuild the outdated passenger terminal complex and related facilities at the Salt Lake City International Airport. ![]()
