Until now, most work on the $3.6 billion project to rebuild Salt Lake City International Airport has been out of easy public view. That is about to change.
The airport will redirect its roadway beginning Aug. 16 so that it will take motorists between the new terminal and new parking garage — giving up-close views of exterior construction progress.
The rerouting also will cut a third of a mile off of the current exit route, which has changed often during different phases of construction.
The coming rerouting is needed to give crews the space to install exit facilities for the new airport parking garage.
