It's been years since I used ATL, but I remember there used to be a tunnel that ran between the "ends" of two terminals, allowing avoidance of the main train - didn't there? I remember when I first started using it, thinking it was kind of "secret". I wonder if I remember it correctly.
Anyway, maybe they leave the 'blue" one open after opening the final "planned" one (close to Old D as noted) for short cutting.

Will the new terminal have all of the Utah photography that was previously along the walls of the moving walkways between terminals? I really enjoyed going from end of the airport to the other on the walkways and looking at the photography of all that that great state has to offer.

Concourse D's last day is Monday. C, F and G will live on through October 27th. Then it's new A and B West plus hard stands for a few years.

I also would not be happy to have had my car be towed. But the situation would not have arisen for me because my employer has made it clear that reimbursement for parking in Short Term for more than a day trip would not be permitted. You can do it if you fork over the difference in price between it and Long Term but I have never seen the value in that. Short Term discounted to just $20 a day for the rest of the year ... what a bargain (if someone else is paying).

The Utah Transit Authority has released details on how rail transit to and from the airport will work until the new station is ready in 2021.

(At present, the first bullet point is for an unrelated project on a different rail line. So scroll down to see the airport details.)

That tunnel "belonged" to Eastern Airlines when they controlled the north half of Concourse B and all of Concourse C. That tunnel was open for a while after Delta took over Eastern's gates, but they closed it to public use (I think they use it for storage of various items). I'm sure the tunnel is still there.
