The new tunnel is part of Phase 3 of the Salt Lake City International Airport’s overhaul and includes 12 new concessions and initially, five Delta Air Lines gates.
The tunnel will shorten travelers’ walks between the two concourses. The existing mid-concourse tunnel opens at gate A1; the new central tunnel begins at the main terminal.
The tunnel entrance will also feature the reinstalled World Map from the old airport along with a large-scale art installation by Gordon Huether titled “Northern Light.”
Five new Concourse B gates will open Oct. 22, with five more opening in phase 4 next October in 2025. Eleven more will be added in 2026.
The massive airport remodel is designed to accommodate 34 million passengers a year and replaces five previous concourses with two linear concourses, A and B.
The first phase of the $5.1 billion project opened in 2020.
