A multi-level law enforcement and parking operations building will also be constructed with covered walkways, new bus shelters, and canopies. Construction activities for the Park Economy 3 expansion will commence later this year with a scheduled delivery in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The Aviation Parkway and National Guard Drive intersection will undergo capacity and safety improvements to accommodate increased volumes of traffic from the expansion of Park Economy 3 and future developments along National Guard Drive. The interchange will feature new roadway infrastructure connecting the newly expanded parking lot to Aviation Parkway and a new bridge overpass to allow RDU\u2019s shuttle bus traffic to have an almost continuous, free-flow movement to and from the terminal area to Park Economy 3. The improvements are anticipated to start in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The Terminal 2 landside expansion program includes three sub-phases\u2014expansion of Terminal 2, the demolition and reconstruction of parking garage one and two, and the extension of John Brantley Boulevard to meet long-term passenger demand.<\/p>\n<p>The expansion of Terminal 2 includes expanding the terminal\u2019s processor building and the expansion and modification of the landside, FIS (Federal Inspections Station) and CBP (Custom and Border Patrol) areas of the building. The demolition and reconstruction of the parking garages includes replacing the garage decks with new five- to seven-story decks, a pedestrian bridge, and tunnel connections to Terminal 2. Lastly, the John Brantley Boulevard extension involves realigning the main road loop between Terminals 1 and 2 to create space for a future consolidated rental car facility (CONRAC). The Terminal 2 Landside Expansion program is scheduled to start early 2025.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_204182\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-204182\" style=\"width: 345px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Raleigh\u2013Durham_International_Airport_interior.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-204182\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Raleigh\u2013Durham_International_Airport_interior-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Raleigh\u2013Durham_International_Airport_interior-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Raleigh\u2013Durham_International_Airport_interior-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Raleigh\u2013Durham_International_Airport_interior-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Raleigh\u2013Durham_International_Airport_interior.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-204182\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> Interior of the Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><em>Photo courtesy Sgerbic, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons.<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Contracting for the construction program will be phased through multiple amendments as design, preconstruction, and construction activities progress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBalfour Beatty is honored to continue our more than 10-year relationship with Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority,\u201d says Trent Johnson, Balfour Beatty operations director in Raleigh, North Carolina. \u201cBeing selected to deliver this major construction program is a testament to our project team\u2019s ongoing commitment to operational excellence to successfully achieve our client\u2019s program goals.
