Project Overview

The Connector project is comprised of two new connections between Terminal 2 and Terminal 3, one pre-security and one post-security; 100,000 sq ft of office space for airport executives and various airport departments; leasable tenant space; and additional passenger amenities and lounges. The project will also include make-ready work and the relocation of a number of critical airport facilities. All gates and terminals will remain fully operational during construction, and preserving the passenger experience is a top priority. The Connector project allows passengers, both pre-and post-security, to travel between terminals with ease.
