AUS 2030 Update
A few notable updates from the Port:
- braided intersection of SH 71 / Presidential Blvd is currently in design
- 4-gate western extension + in-fill project in the works to enable the loss of at least that many gates for future midfield concourse, which leads me to...
- tunnel now planned to connect BJT (near Gate 19 or so) to midfield concourse, i.e. no bridge as shown in previous renderings
- targeting 2025-2026 opening of 20 gate concourse; planned apron & taxiways to accommodate potential third parallel concourse beyond 2040
- improvements to existing BJT headhouse to accommodate ticketing/check-in/baggage services for capacity before tearing down current close-in garage for eventually expanded facility
- expanded BJT will be constructed as tangent to newly aligned two-level roadway for future growth to avoid need for new southern terminal through the 2040 planning period
- Taxiway D design & construction within next decade for operational improvements to 17R/35L, i.e. high-speed exits
