The highlight of the project is a dual level bridge that leads to the terminal; the top will be reserved for departures and the bottom for arrivals.
Construction
For this project, Fay plans to use around 8,000,000 lbs of structural steel and over 7,000 foot of 18” reinforced concrete pipe.

- Ten sets of piers to support 68 tub girders
- A ramp connecting to the new transportation network
- Approximately four miles of roadway connecting I-376 and the new terminal building through a system of connecting ramps and bridges
