We opened it officially in 2018, according to plan. Once the tunnel was constructed, it was immediately closed. The tunnel would not be needed for 15 years however, the goal was to build it in advance and avoid disrupting aircraft traffic while the new concourses were constructed. The SLCDA secured a Federal Aviation Administration grant to design and construct the shell of a west utility tunnel between the two concourses.
We’ve been able to do that by building out portions of the new airport’s infrastructure more than a decade before we needed them.One forward-positioning example happened in 2004. Therefore, you must position the program to meet moments of opportunity when they arise. Large, transformative airport programs are like aircraft carriers. The successful completion of phase one of the SLCDA’s $4.1 billion Airport Redevelopment Project is directly linked to six strategies that helped turn our vision into a reality: Ready to accommodate 34 million passengers annually, the new facility replaces an existing terminal and five pier concourses, all built in the 1960s and ‘70s. The New SLC is the largest capital construction project in Utah’s history and the nation’s newest hub airport. The tunnel is temporary until the permanent, central passenger tunnel, part of phase two, now underway, is completed. The concourses are currently connected via the mid-concourse tunnel. The new Salt Lake City International Airport, or New SLC, features a beautiful new terminal, a parking garage with double the previous capacity and the initial portions of two new linear concourses. In September 2020, during a pandemic, the Salt Lake City Department of Airports opened phase one of a new generation of airport.
