The Salt Lake City International Airport's $5.2 billion reconstruction project is nearing completion, with the final phases expected to conclude in 2026. The airport renovation includes adding 16 gates to Concourse B, bringing the total number of gates to 94.
Michael Williams, who served as the program director for this extensive project, passed away recently. His death has motivated the construction team to fulfill his vision and complete the renovation according to his plans. Brian Stetson has taken over as director and emphasized that they are "adapting the system for anticipated growth."
The project spans four overlapping phases. The first phase was completed in late 2020, involving significant work on a central terminal building and sections of Concourses A and B. Phase two saw the demolition of the old airport structure and began constructing a central tunnel by 2023. By late 2024, phase three's major components, including a connecting tunnel and plaza at Concourse B, were open to public use.
