Dulles Airport prepares for $700 million expansion for passengers and cargo shipping

Описание: 7News got a rare behind-the-scenes tour of Dulles Airport Monday, as officials touted plans to dramatically expand the airport in the coming years when it comes to both flying passengers and shipping cargo.

The major change that travelers will notice the soonest is a new 14-gate $700 million concourse set to open in 2026 that will have a direct link with Dulles’s underground “Aerotrain” system. Airport Manager Richard Golinowski told 7News that about four years later an extension of that new concourse with more gates will open, and there are plans for more concourses in the future. Eventually, the new concourses will replace the current C-D Concourse, but Golinowski said it will likely be at least 20 years before that happens.
