Something to Smile about in January
In December 2022, we hit a milestone in the five-year-long PDX Next project: the halfway point! So much at the airport has changed. We now have a Concourse B instead of a Concourse A. Concourse E doubled in length. We upgraded the Rental Car Center. Many new shops and restaurants are open. But the construction work to expand the main terminal also means some of PDX’s most convenient features have temporarily gone away – including the much-missed Concourse Connector. We sat down with Irene Ng, senior manager of site and facility design at PDX, to ask when they might return.
