The walking bridge at Denver International Airport is open for departing and arriving passengers
In addition to Denver International Airport's new East Security Checkpoint, the bridge and walkway to Concourse A opened this week, albeit with slightly less fanfare. It's part of a massive, $2 billion renovation project at the airport, which began in 2018 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2027. The walkway is the only passenger bridge in the U.S. that allows people to walk above airplanes, watching them taxi underneath them, airport officials have boasted. They dubbed the reopening this week, "another exciting change." It's now open again for both arriving and departing passengers. To access it, departing passengers should go through security first. Arriving passengers should exit to the east or west through automated exit lanes and then take the elevators at door 600 on the west side or door 601 on the east side to baggage claim and ground transportation on Level 5. "Passengers departing or arriving out of Concourse A can avoid the train and are encouraged to use the walkway for a more efficient experience," airport officials said in a news release. "If you are traveling out of Concourse B or C, or would prefer to take the train, you will still be able to take the main escalators or elevators down to the Level 4 train platform." Airport CEO Phil Washington hailed the opening of the new security checkpoint and the bridge as "an important milestone" of the airport's Jeppesen Terminal. "All of our passengers will now get to benefit from the new state-of-art checkpoints, improving their travel experience through DEN," he said. "With this opening, Coloradans, and travelers from all over the world, are seeing DEN's Great Hall take shape -- creating a beautiful space for those traveling to and from the Mile High City." The recent openings are part of the second phase of the Great Hall Program, which Washington said finished five months ahead of schedule and $10 million under budget. The next phase of the project will include more security lanes for international travelers, as well as additional escalators and stairs. The project has had its share of speed bumps and criticism surrounding costs, transparency, delays, and quality of work, including hundreds of tiles that were installed, despite being cracked. Airport officials have also been under fire for their spending on a recent trip to an airport conference in Spain. An investigation by Denver's Board of Ethics was sparked by a CBS News Colorado investigation into that trip and its associated costs.

Jacobs wins $150M Denver airport contract
This story was originally published on Construction Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Construction Dive newsletter. Award: Program management Value: $150 million Location: Denver Client: Denver International Airport Jacobs will help reshape how travelers move through Denver International Airport as the Mile High City launches its next major transportation overhaul, according to a news release. The Denver City Council approved on May 12 a $150 million, 10-year agreement with Jacobs to oversee development of a new rental car hub and connected transportation system at Denver International Airport. Under the contract, Jacobs will provide program management support for the Consolidated Rent-A-Car facility and the Common Transportation System that will link it to the airport's main terminal. The work includes electric vehicle infrastructure, fueling operations, traffic design and technology upgrades, according to the release. Jacobs will also handle procurement, according to the company. 'Consolidating rental car operations in a single facility connected to the main terminal by a common transportation system reduces traffic in the terminal area, eliminates the unsustainable numbers of shuttle buses, frees up curb space and allows redevelopment of surface lots for future needs,' said Steve Pelham, Jacobs vice president and transportation director for the Americas. 'For Denver International Airport, these enhancements will provide critical space as the airport expands to meet demand.' The contract continues Jacobs' longstanding partnership with the airport, where the Dallas-based firm has supported more than 60 projects since 1992, according to Jacobs. That includes projects such as the Great Hall Improvement Program and the Concourse Expansion Program. The award comes as Jacobs leans further into infrastructure and consulting work, according to its second-quarter earnings call in May. CEO Bob Pragada said the firm remains focused on federal and infrastructure clients, especially as broader economic uncertainty complicates the construction outlook. Earlier this month, Sound Transit, the public transit agency in Seattle, selected Jacobs to lead early design for its West Seattle Link Extension, a 4.1-mile light rail project expected to cost up to $7.1 billion.
