Given that the Dulles airport site says:
Plans call for a three-level structure with 44 airline gates and similar amenities to Concourse B. The concourse plan includes a dedicated mezzanine corridor with moving sidewalks to serve international passengers. Design and construction of the new concourse have not yet been scheduled.
It's fair to assume we won't see a new concourse in the next 10 years.

I think United (perhaps in combo with other *A airlines) needs to pony up the money, or a decent share of it, before such a project would move forward.
