Portland International Airport Opens New Main Terminal
- Portland International Airport's new main terminal opened to the public on 14 August 2024 after four years of construction, part of the five-project PDX Next[2]
- It is the largest public works project in Oregon history, at about $2 billion (a caption says $2.15 billion), with about 30,000 people working on it[1][2]
- The centrepiece is a nine-acre Douglas fir roof with wood from within 300 miles, from 11 forest land nonprofit and Tribal owners, plus 49 skylights and 36-foot glass walls[2]
- White oak flooring came from within 60 miles of Salem, about 70 trees are indoors, and energy intensity was cut in half[2]
- The 1956 airport handled about 20 million passengers a year pre-pandemic, projected to reach 35 million, and needed capacity, security throughput and seismic resilience[2]
- Airlines fund the project through bonds paid over 30 years, with Alaska paying just over 40%; the next phase is estimated for early 2026[2]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
