After months of groundwork, the steel skeleton of Columbus' new $2-billion airport terminal is starting to rise.
Construction on John Glenn Columbus International Airport's new terminal began in December 2024, focusing mostly on building a new elevated roadway. But the airport announced in an Aug. 8 Facebook post that crews have now moved to the above-ground phase, during which the terminal's structure will start to take shape.
"It’s official — the first piece of steel for the new terminal building is in place!" the airport's post states. "After a summer of prepping the elevated roadway, crews are now going vertical on the terminal itself. Over the next few months, travelers at CMH will begin to see big changes taking shape above ground."..
