As part of its $2 billion capital improvement project, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is scheduled to begin renovations at security checkpoints in June.
According to a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing, mechanical, electrical, architectural, alarm, and communication systems will be replaced at Gate C11 at an estimated construction cost of $2 million. In another filing, a construction access gate at the south end of Terminal C will be installed with a manned security gate and electronically controlled arm. The estimated construction cost is $5 million, and the anticipated delivery date for both projects is August 31.
The Dallas Express has reported that DFW Airport is also expected to spend about $7 million on renovations that include a bag claim carousel, ramp and concourse levels, and modifications to ramp level spaces.
“The estimated $2 billion in projects are the latest example of the ongoing investment in both the Airport and the region, not only updating the nearly 50-year-old facility but also providing expanded gate capacity in both Terminal C and Terminal A to address future growth and continue a commitment to an evolving enhanced customer experience,” the airport said, according to a news release.
Other ongoing infrastructure projects at the airport include the High C gates renovation, Terminal D South gates expansion, runway and taxiway upgrades, and the opening of its Integrated Operations Center. The projects, encompassing about 850,000 feet of terminal space, are scheduled to be completed in phases, with delivery set for June 2026.
Additionally, in March, 20 elevators used to move customers among the airport’s five terminals will be replaced to improve its Skylink system.
