Salt Lake City 国际机场重建收官：最后7个登机口10月27日启用，全机场达94个登机口
位于犹他州盐湖县的 Salt Lake City，其国际机场历时12年的重建工程进入收官阶段。据 Salt Lake City 机场局（Salt Lake City Department of Airports）发布的消息及《工程新闻记录》（Engineering News-Record，ENR）10月19日的更新报道，耗资51亿美元的「The New SLC」重建计划正在完成第四期 B 指廊扩建，最后7个旅客登机口定于10月27日交付启用。这座机场被机场局称为美国21世纪建成的第一座新枢纽机场。
10月27日启用的7个登机口位于 B 指廊东侧，同日开业的还有6家餐饮零售店，包括 Einstein Bros. Bagels、Moochie's Cheesesteaks、Monarca、Mr. Charlie's Chicken Fingers、Swig 以及便利店 &Go SLC。新登机口将供联合航空（United Airlines）使用，另设2个可供其他航空公司灵活调用的共用登机口。至此，全机场共有94个登机口、101家商业门店和4个远机位停机位。机场局将于10月24日先举行竣工庆祝活动；B 指廊东侧还将悬挂艺术家 Gordon Huether 的大型装置新作《Gateway to the World》。
这项工程2014年7月破土动工，第一期于2020年9月启用，第二期于2023年10月、第三期于2024年10月相继投用，今年7月14日已有4个登机口先行开放。施工全程紧贴正在运营的滑行道推进，项目团队奉行「机场运营优先」原则：只有先确定登机口进出、飞机推出与拖车作业所需的安全间距，才划定施工区域。牵头设计方 HNTB 的航空项目总监 Robert Millar 表示，团队与航站楼建筑师 HOK 及各航空公司密切协调施工时序，确保替换登机口就位前，现有登机口始终保持运营。B 指廊设施由 Austin Commercial 与 Okland 的合资团队按一份5.45亿美元的合同承建。
机场局执行总监 Bill Wyatt 此前表示：「我们已进入最后进近阶段。The New SLC 开业已六年、破土动工已十二年，而这座新机场的规划更是历时数十年，我们很高兴能在10月庆祝这一成就。」重建资金来自机场自有资金、旅客与租车设施收费、收益债券及联邦补助，未动用地方税收。10月27日最后7个登机口启用后，这项横跨四期的重建计划将正式画上句号。
Salt Lake City Airport Redevelopment Wraps Up: Final Seven Gates Open October 27, Bringing Total to 94
In Salt Lake City, located in Salt Lake County, Utah, the 12-year redevelopment of Salt Lake City International Airport is entering its final stage. According to the Salt Lake City Department of Airports and an October 19 update from Engineering News-Record (ENR), the $5.1 billion "The New SLC" redevelopment program is wrapping up its Phase 4 Concourse B expansion, with the final seven passenger gates set to be handed over and open on October 27. The department describes The New SLC as the first new hub airport built in the United States in the 21st century.
The seven gates opening on October 27 are on the east side of Concourse B, alongside six new concessions: Einstein Bros. Bagels, Moochie's Cheesesteaks, Monarca, Mr. Charlie's Chicken Fingers, Swig, and the &Go SLC news and convenience store. The new gates will house United Airlines arrivals and departures, plus two common-use gates available to other airlines serving SLC as needed. The completion brings the airport to 94 aircraft gates, 101 concessions and four hardstand positions. The department will hold a final celebration on October 24, and Concourse B-east will feature a new large-scale ceiling installation by artist Gordon Huether titled "Gateway to the World."
The program broke ground in July 2014. Phase 1 opened in September 2020, Phase 2 in October 2023 and Phase 3 in October 2024, and four gates already opened on July 14, 2026. Construction proceeded directly beside active taxiways under an "airport operations come first" approach, with work areas established only after the setbacks required for gate access, aircraft pushback and tug operations were determined. Robert Millar, aviation project director for lead design firm HNTB, said the team coordinated closely with terminal architect HOK and airline stakeholders so existing gates remained operational until replacement gates were available. The Concourse B facilities were built by a joint venture of Austin Commercial and Okland under a $545 million contract.
"We are on our final approach," Bill Wyatt, executive director of the Salt Lake City Department of Airports, said in the department's announcement. "It has been six years since we opened The New SLC and 12 years since we broke ground; however, planning for the new airport has taken decades to plan and we are excited to celebrate this accomplishment in October." The redevelopment was funded through airport funds, passenger and customer facility charges, revenue bonds and federal grants, with no local tax dollars used. When the final seven gates open on October 27, the four-phase program will be formally complete.
