Any new pictures of LGA? I haven't been there since March (used to be there several times a week for 20 years).
Interested in whether/how they've accelerated any of the building plans while traffic is down.

I was just flying out of the new G (really for now the high D gates) this week and it’s already falling apart as far as the eye can tell......there’s cardboard as a floor as you enter and huge floor to ceiling tarps covering off a large area saying “Pardon our Dust”.
Guessing water damage so soon?

I arrived into the high D/future G gates tonight. Is this what you were seeing? I could kinda see behind it and they were installing the escalators and didn’t look like water damage (it was storming pretty bad in NYC so water would be flowing if there was a problem!)

No new status updates? It's a shame the official LGA airport expansion website doesn't really have a new post since late last summer...

I should be able to report back on the status of the Delta construction next week, barring COVID shenanigans.

I'll do a quick bump in my selfish desire to hear/see what's the latest at LGA DL terminals...
I'm projecting that I might be able to fly from LGA DL in March/April--that would be the longest duration over which I've not seen DL (or PMNW) LGA in 19 years so far as I can tell--or any airport/airline in 27 years (which I'm more certain about).
Hoping that they're getting all the construction done more quickly, a rare bright spot in a poop year...

I was there last week on Wednesday during Snowmageddon. I am in and out of LGA 2-3x month.
The new side of D is nice (the gates in the 90s). It is a bit of a deceptive hike from the new D to the "old" D where the D skyclub is. Not crazy, but just longer than it looks. The old D is still the exact same. You can not walk to C using the walkway anymore. You have to take a bus that leaves out of one of the end D gates D6 in order to get to C. C is largely unchanged as well once you get there. you cant go much further back towards D past security since that's where a lot of the demolition took place.
They are taking the travel restriction a little more seriously than they did a few weeks ago. We were greeted by two national guardsmen when we deplaned asking to see our completed form. They glanced at it and then let me pass. Also, as you are leaving the C gates there were two guardsman at the top of the inclined walkway right before you turn left to go to the C club checking again.
Also, in the D club they are constantly patrolling to make sure your mask only comes down during an active bite of food or sip of drink. I didn't see that quite as much in C.
