Portland International Airport’s nine-acre timber roof is finally on full display, with crews this week removing the temporary bypass wall that had until now concealed the airport\u2019s \u201cPhase 2 works\u201d as the US $2.15 billion terminal development enters its final runway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And whilst the core of the terminal opened to passengers in 2024, the past 18 months have been dedicated to demolishing and rebuilding the north and south nodes \u2014 a task carried out while the airport remained fully operational. And Wood Central understands that the final configuration now links ticketing, security and circulation spaces into a single, seismically isolated volume, eliminating the bottlenecks that characterised the interim construction period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe last 30% of Portland Airport\u2019s main terminal project, on both the north and south of wing of the terminal, will wrap up by June, adding new restaurants, shops, bathrooms, art, and improved passenger flow,\u201d according to Alamy McCarty, a reporter for KGW8 news who toured the new section<\/a>. \u201cAs we open up the last 30% of the project, you\u2019ll see the continuation of a walk in the forest.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
