Travelers thought Utah's Salt Lake City International Airport(SLC) can now enjoy the benefits of the third phase of the airport's significant redevelopment project. The Salt Lake City Department of Airports today unveiled Phase 3 of The New SLC Redevelopment Program, which includes the eagerly-awaited Central Tunnel, Concourse B Plaza with new concessions, additional gates, and four new art installations that celebrate and recognize Utah's beauty and natural history.
The redevelopment program broke ground in July 2014, with Phase 1 of The New SLC opening in fall 2020, followed by Phase 2 in fall 2023. Next fall, additional gates are expected to come online, with the entire project finished in 2026 with 94 aircraft gates. A crowning touch of this phase is the completion of a 1,000-foot-long central tunnel that significantly reduces the walk from the main terminal to the north concourse.
The latest phase follows news that the airport is receiving an American Express Centurion lounge, new flights with Avelo Airlines to Sonoma, and a United Airlines link to Washington, DC.
