The first passenger boarding bridge has been installed on the new concourse at Eppley Airfield. It’s all part of a $950 million expansion and modernization of Eppley’s terminal. The project is expanding the terminal from 375,000 sq. ft. to 646,000 sq. ft. It centralizes TSA security, expands the number of gates from 19 to 22 and adds international flight capacity. The upgraded terminal will have 19 restaurant and retail businesses to serve passengers.
While the terminal project won’t be 100 percent complete until 2028, the traveling public will start using the central pavilion and many of the new concourse gates early next year. The final part of project will be the international gates on the far north end.
