From an airport press release that was e-mailed to me a few minutes ago:
A 990-ft. long tunnel--originally built in 2004--connects concourses A and B. Passengers will be delighted to see the four seasons of Utah represented as they make their way through the tunnel. Salt Lake City-based artist Tracy O'Very Covey painted summer and fall, while Texas-based artist Daas painted winter and spring.
Additional facts about Concourse B:- The 21 gates have been allocated as follows: Alaska-1, American-2, Delta-7, Frontier-1, JetBlue-1, Southwest-4, and United-2. In addition, there are three common use-or city gates-that will be used by various airlines as needed.
- Gates B21 and B24 will serve as access points to a hard-stand operation for primarily regional aircraft.
- Electronic plug-ins are available at each seat in the gate area.
- Aircraft gates that employ the SAFEGATE Aircraft Docking System to provide pilots active guidance to support safe, efficient and precise automated aircraft parking during all operating conditions.
- Eight restrooms (seven with private lactation rooms) with deep bathroom stalls and unique Whimsy Wall artwork. Passengers are never more than 150 feet away from the next restroom facility.
- Ability to add 8 gates in a second phase, and 15 gates in a third phase.
With Phase I of The New SLC complete, demolition is underway on the previous airport structure to begin building the next phase. Phase II includes the build out of Concourse A to the east and construction of the concrete portion of a permanent tunnel to transport passengers between concourses A and B. This is expected to be completed by late 2024. For more information on phasing, go to Demolition Timeline here.
Demolition on the former airport parking garage is underway in preparation for the Phase 2 build out of The New SLC. The new parking garage has twice as many stalls and a introductory rate of $20 per day through 2020.
