ALSO | Austin short-term rentals see listings, daily rates fall from Aug. 2025 to 2026<\/a><\/p>\nMore space inside the terminal<\/p>\n
One of the projects travelers can already see is the Atrium Infill project between TSA Checkpoints 2 and 3.<\/p>\n
The project is adding more than 12,000 square feet to the terminal, creating additional space for TSA lines, airline check-in and passenger queuing.<\/p>\n
According to the latest airport update, construction is expected to continue through the end of 2026.<\/p>\n
New gates and amenities<\/p>\n
Another major project nearing completion is the West Gate Expansion.<\/p>\n
The $165 million project has been under construction for about three years and is adding new gates and amenities to the Barbara Jordan Terminal.<\/p>\n
New gates are already open. The latest airport update says work is nearing completion on the mezzanine level, including an outdoor patio, while other amenities are also being completed. The additional gates will also help offset gates that will eventually be taken out of service as future phases of the airport expansion move forward.<\/p>\n
A new parking garage is taking shape<\/p>\n
Travelers driving into AUS have likely noticed another major project: the Yellow Garage.<\/p>\n
Airport documents show the precast concrete fa\u00e7ade is complete, roadway work is continuing and crews are working on the pedestrian bridge connecting the Yellow Garage to the Blue Garage. Elevators on the east side of the garage have also been installed and are ready for testing.<\/p>\n
The project is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2027.<\/p>\n
Until then, travelers will continue to see changing traffic patterns around the Blue Garage as construction continues.<\/p>\n
Some of the biggest construction projects are happening away from the passenger terminal.<\/p>\n
Travelers can also see work on the New Midfield Taxiways and Maintenance Ramp Expansion. The new taxiways will help aircraft move between gates and runways while also supporting future airport expansion. Crews are preparing to pave the concrete taxiways, continuing work on bridges and connecting walls and expanding the maintenance ramp. Construction is also underway on a water-quality pond.<\/p>\n
The project is currently scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2027.<\/p>\n
Some of the biggest changes at AUS are still years away.<\/p>\n
The airport is planning a new Arrivals and Departures Hall and a second concourse connected to the existing terminal by a tunnel.<\/p>\n
Those projects are still in development, while the airport’s current expansion timeline shows major phases extending into the 2030s.<\/p>\n
Another major project, Concourse M, is expected to begin construction in October 2026 and is currently scheduled to be built through the second quarter of 2028.<\/p>\n
The airport is also planning a new Central Utility Plant, with construction currently scheduled from 2027 through 2029, along with an expanded Integrated Baggage Handling System.<\/p>\n
So while some of the construction may be inconvenient for travelers right now, the goal is to give AUS more room for passengers, planes, gates, parking and the infrastructure needed to keep the airport operating as Austin continues to grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AUSTIN, Texas \u2014 If you\u2019ve been through Austin-Bergstrom International Airport recently, you\u2019ve probably noticed the construction.
